October 22-26

This week was very crazy!  Barely a moment to take a breath and remember what I'm doing.  However, I did get to complete some great interventions with a 5th grade student.  He's not a great reader and we used You tube to research a topic and he was able to get some great supporting details for his paper from videos.

Another bright spot, our school received some good kudos for RTi.  I think the auditor liked how we focused on Tier I instruction with tier 1 and then intervened with interventions for students not meeting those benchmarks.  We even did training to support the teachers on the Tier I instruction over five years.  We still need to get better how we analysis student problems and how to do classroom interventions.

I was able to sneak out for a short Professional learning seminar at our county about teaching common core math.  Power point of meeting.  The discussion was about the mathematical practice and not the standards.  A big part of the change to the common core is stressing how our teachers are teaching.  This was a great presentation to help make sure we are emphasizes the process before we ever start worry about the new PARCC or Common Core assessments.
