Christina – Family of School Literacy Coach (FOSLC) • feedback from teachers and administrators about the TLCP has been very positive • PLC’s and moderated marking were very powerful for teachers – the dialogue and reflections among colleagues about their students, the work both teachers and students were doing, student achievement became much more positive over the year • schools planning for 2008-09 school year with TLCP’s in mind…moving towards clustering expectations and cross-curricular integration
Next Steps • Continue Pathway with Grade 4 and 5 and Grade 3 teams using EQAO.DRA and CASI results to guide our “path” • Begin a Pathway with Grade 2 • Writing answers to open ended questions • Use writing samples from first week as starting point
