AGENDA OVERVIEW

“Education is about understanding relationships.” –George Washington Carver

AT THE CORE: RELATIONSHIPS

• One student with whole team of teachers• Failures: Inefficient, overwhelming, oftentimes

ineffective, irregular follow-up• Large groups of students• Failures: Individual student needs missed, lack

of teacher ownership, challenge to track data/follow students

• Small groups of students based on area of need• Failures: Follow-up teacher responsibility,

number of groups

PAST INTERVENTION EXPERIENCE

1) Data-driven2) Ease of follow-up3) Regular teacher

involvement/accountability/buy-in4) Student goal-setting and follow-through5) Personalization to student6) Foundation of quality individual student-to-

teacher relationships

Document.• Teacher meets initially to set goals with students.• Teachers meet regularly with students during

advisory, after school, during/between classes individually. Planning, coaching, data-checking occurs.
