Fastbridge completion, Phonics Blast and UFLI, breaking up into smaller groups with the instructional coach
Tell me how the ELA block is set up?Not liking the CKLA resource. They are in their final year of this resource and will be adopting a new one next year.120 minutes on ELA instruction (includes writing and grammar)Currently using Phonics Blast and UFLI, for small-group interventionOnly 2 teachers per grade level makes it difficult to differentiate as she did in her previous school. Currently, they are without an instructional para so the Instructional Coach is working with a small group, but the group sizes are still not manageable or desirable.

Next meeting: 10/14 @ 4:30
