They aren’t invested in their writing in response to literature goals and they aren’t steadily improving on the CFQ or other rubric. Students aren’t making appropriate growth on state-test aligned assessments, such that they aren’t on track to EITHER perform better on the state test than they did last year OR at least proficient Students aren’t growing enough as independent readers because they aren’t regularly independently reading for fun.

  10. Most EFFECTIVE Problem-Solving Cycle OUTCOMES: Group Share: What sorts of discussion have you tried in your class? What sorts of discussion haven’t you tried? What successes have your students had with discussion? When discussion “doesn’t work”, what happens with your students?
