Jim Reece

Notes I sent to Jim after our meeting today:

We detailed the requirements of each application assignment and noted the downloadable forms for use in each process.  These forms are located in the application assignment hub of the course content page.

We reviewed the requirements for Module 2 and discussed how you might use the additional three finger assessment data to supplement the Fast bridge data.  We also discussed that you might look ahead to the upcoming year to determine other data sources to best represent each of the strands on the Scarborough Rope within each domain.

We identified the assignments that are, and still need to, be completed:

Module 2 – in progress and should be complete/submit this week.

Module 3 will be embedded in your the Module 4 observation or in a lesson that you teach.

Module 4 – observation of the SLP completed – need to reflect and submit the assignment as indicated In the course requirements.

Module 5 – still need to observe or teach

Module 6 Still need to observe for teach

Moduel7/8 – still need to observe or teach

**You must be sure to teach at least two lessons and use the lesson template on the course site.

Module 9/10 – completed as a professional discussion

Modules 11/12 – completing as a profession discussion today

We also talked about the knowledge assessments.  I will check with Dr. Carlson to determine which you have not passed.

We will work on content in identified modules during our meeting next Wednesday.

We also formulated a draft long-term instructional leadership goal:

By June 2027, I will develop a specific process and implement that plan to strengthen tier one literacy instruction for all students in at least one grade level. Teacher implementation of evidence-based practices and increases in student literacy development by at least 10% will be measures used to assess impact.

Assessment:

• Identify student assessment data to best represent the strands within the Scarborough Reading Rope.  Use student data to determine needs and also use it for progress monitoring.
• Organize and support data teams to analyze student needs across subgroups and determine strategies needed to be embedded in the course curriculum.
• Develop and utilize a teacher observation/feedback tool to support integration of quality instructional techniques associated with explicit, systematic and cumulative instruction.

Logistics

• Determine the grade level(s) of focus for year one implementation.
• Provide professional development to the staff – including para-educators.
• Develop a staffing schedule to support multiple professionals within the classroom for tier one instruction in small groups.

Our next meeting is Wednesday July 22 at 11:00 CT.   We will go over the knowledge sections of pertinent modules and finalize the long-term goal.
