Friday, November 12, 2010 Elementary PLC Meeting
Objectives for Today • CONTENT OBJECTIVES: • We will identify the characteristics of a Smart Goal. • We will examine our current reality for Elementary grades K-5 LEP students using a variety of data. • LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES: • We will summarize the data by making charts, graphs or tables to determine the Smart Goals for 2010-2011. • We will create a Smart Goal for each grade level and share with our PLC.
Activating Prior Knowledge What do you know about SMART Goals? What is the purpose? What are the components? STOP AND THINK—Reflect in your reflection journal. Quick write—2 minutes of a circle map.
Sharing TIME Number off 1-2. Number 1’s share for 30 seconds. Number 2’s share for 30 seconds. Add any new info. Collective sharing—circle map on Smart Board. Recorder will record.

Guided Practice Review example Smart Goals. Use rubric/checklist to determine quality. Rewrite poorly written Smart Goals into great ones!
What is SMART? • S=specific • Which students are we looking at? • What do we want them to do? (verb) • M=Measurable • What instrument are we going to use? • A=Achievable • Is our goal realistic?? Is it too high? too low? • R=results-oriented • What is the end result? • What is the evidence that we’ve met our goal? • T=Time Bound • What is our start and end date? • When do we expect to meet our goal?
First Things First Where are we now? What is our current reality? Before making any goal, we need to know WHAT we need to improve. How do we know WHAT we need to improve?
What do we want to Know? Language/Academic? Data Needed Accessible/Resources
Types of Data Available • Language Academic • ACCESS * AIMS Web • Phonemic Awareness • Phonological Awareness • Fluency • Comprehension • * EOG Reading
BIG PICTURE DATA for Language What do we use to measure language? What is success in language? How will we know when our students are successful?
BIG PICTURE DATA For ACADEMICS What do we use to measure academics? What is the definition of success? How will we know when our students are successful?
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Based on the assumptions from analyzing the district data, write a Smart Goal for language performance and for academic performance for specific grade levels, courses and/or grade clusters. After writing the goal/s, use the SMART acronym to check the goal. Minimum requirement—one goal—maximum possible 1 per grade level.
