Current Draft Schedule for Instructional Rounds

SLT - Common Commitments:

As a staff we will commit to Intentional Collaborative Conversations.

“Intentional” means- grouping students together for an intentional purpose: giving certain partners or groups specific types of questions, and/or giving roles/jobs to particular students for a purpose in mind. (Such as a Reader, Writer, Illustrator, Reporter, etc… without giving a lower reader the Reader position, or shy person the reporter position.)

Within the Collaborative Conversations include using the 4Ls as norms, using sentence frames, complete sentences, and RACE as appropriate.

Gallup Survey Results -   bit.ly/Gallup18-19

For those who completed the survey last November, breakfast will be served on February 1st! (Famous Brown Breakfast)

NUTS and BOLTS

Please give me a final testing schedule by Friday - If we can not come to an agreement, please keep it to at least two options.

DIBLES goals due Friday Feb. 1st. Each teacher will have different goals. 
TENTATIVE CAASPP TESTING WINDOW : (Draft Schedule at this time)
Grades 3-6 ELA April 29th - May 3rd
Grades 3- 6 Math May 6th - 10th
Grade 5 Science  May 13th -17th
Make- Ups for all May 13th - May 24th (If necessary)

It is likely that we will not have library and READ 180 for the month of May due to construction and testing. Please do not schedule any field trips or invite/plan school wide activities from April 29th - May 17th if it will impact those testing. If you know a student is going on Independent Studies during their testing window please let me know ASAP.

Staffing and Construction Update:

*Retirement notifications need to be in by Feb 12th (I believe)
*Grade Level Preference Sheets will be going into your boxes around Feb 12th as well.
*Contract states you need to know your tentative grade level by May 15th, but I am hoping to have that information to you well before that. (I have to consider retirements, hires/transfers, leadership team, GATE, etc.......and moves). 
*Constructions currently is slated to start this summer. There are so many moving parts and they meet to discuss and adjust every two weeks that it is hard to move beyond a draft plan. I will let you know to the best of my ability where you are moving, if you are moving, and what construction will be done on each of your work spaces by April. I am trying to give you as much time to prepare for the moves, and construction. But it is always a moving target. I appreciate your patience.

*We are committed to teaching all four parts of Eureka Everyday: Fluency, Application Problem, Concept Development, Debrief.

*Goal is a balance of 50% teacher talk and 50% student talk.

*Manipulatives should be out and used.

-Instructional Time is valuable, please make sure we maximize every minute we have with our students. Make sure your activities all day long are addressing the Standards.
