Our School
Develop a schedule that supports the CSIP (Committee for School Improvement and Planning)
Support schedules coordinated with the general education program (inclusion, interventions and planning)
Uninterrupted blocks of time for reading and math (refer to SOQs from the state standards for minimum requirements at each grade level)
Common daily grade level planning time/instructional time for teachers (this could provide a time for staff development for grade level teams of teachers)
Incorporated block of time for intervention/ enrichment to meet the needs of RTI (Response To Intervention) and Gateway
Instructional Priorities:
Supporting Research
Gumm and Turner, 2004, found that students need a minimum of 90 minutes of uninterrupted reading instruction per day in order to for sufficient reading development, the goal being to read on grade level.
Their evidence also shows that the most effective teachers are those that deliver reading instruction with density.
Therefore, at-risk students require more instructional time each day with instruction that has greater density (Gumm & Turner, 2004).
Increases in the amount of Common Planning Time are strongly associated with increases in the amount of time the teachers can spend coordinating content, diagnosing individual student needs, planning special events, conducting parent conferences, regrouping, and rescheduling. (Mac Iver, 1990).
CPT promotes heightened levels of teacher collegiality (Lipsitz, 1984; Rice, 2003), professionalism in curriculum development (Lipsitz, 1984), and reduces teacher isolation (Rice, 2003).
Supporting Research con’t.
Common Planning Time for grade level teachers and special education teachers at the grade level
A block of time at each grade level to incorporate the Student Intervention Specialist
Organizational Priorities:
Budget Special education schedules and
coordinating them with general education Number of special education teachers and
when they are available for assistance/co-teaching in general education classes….she might work across grade levels so when creating a master schedule this would need to be considered to make sure she is available for reading/math in the grade levels in which she has identified students
Constraints:
Itinerates (Music, Art, P.E., Guidance, Library, etc.) and their number of days available in the building
E/R (Enrichment/ Remediation)..does our school have a Student Intervention Specialist or do teachers have to incorporate remediation into their school day (for ex. during their planning time or before and or after school)??
Time for special programs … violin, drums, etc.
Constraints cont.:
Time for PALS (Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening) tutors, speech teachers,
individual student counseling, etc. Grade level numbers…if there are too many
homerooms at a particular level that could interfere with common planning time as their might not be enough itinerate teachers to cover the classes from the same grade level all at once
Do we have a gateway (gifted and talented) teacher or are classroom teachers responsible for providing enrichment activities for the students?
Constraints cont.:
Consider the Reading First Model of Virginia to establish guidelines for the reading blocks
Look at the Standards of Quality to determine minimum standards for itinerate teachers per student numbers
