  1. Motivation, Rigor and Accountability in Q4 (Or, how Starting the Year with a Strong Culture Sets You Up for Greatness) Presented by Bristol Charrow, inspired by Wes Anderson

  2. Motivation in Q4

  3. How do I Motivate? • Celebration after each SRI • Action Step: Make Certificates for Time, Growth & Words • Action Step: Show an SRI Celebration PowerPoint • Straight Talk about SRI Scores • Action Step: Tell kids: The March SRI is important for placement next year, but I can use your final SRI to recommend students be moved (along with your behavior, English grades, work in class, etc.) • Release Responsibility (more coming up…) • Action Step: Only give rewards for leadership roles (i.e. row monitors), if it works with your style

  4. Rigor and Accountability in Q4

  5. Where’s the rigor and accountability? • Independent Reading Station • Re-teach & introduce audiobooks (reward & relax) • Spend A LOT of time teaching at beginning of year • Action Step: If you do one thing this summer, read through all of the answers for all graphic organizers! *Helps to gauge if kids are ready to quiz • Straight Talk & relationships • Action Step: Continually remind students: SRI score + grades + behavior = may move out of READ180 • Release Responsibility (coming up…)

  6. Independent Reading Station

  7. Build a Strong Culture the Key to Releasing Responsibility

  8. Create Culture in the First 3 Weeks • Build a VERY structured classroom so kids know exactly what to do & eventually take them over • Action Step: Implement Simple, Repetitive Procedures (especially start of class) - Scholar Credo video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJqaxaJ7f6c) - Folders with 4 Pockets • Action Step: Teach & test procedures during First 3 Weeks - PowerPointfrom Ms. Xu & Ms. Charrow, Weeks 1-3 - CHAMPS Student Handout

  9. Maintain Culture by Gradually Releasing Responsibility • Every month, release a step of your procedure, until students are running the classroom from beginning to rotations! • Action Step: Map out every single thing that happens in your class, then teach that during the First 3 Weeks • Action Step: Revise the First 3 Weeks - More time on Indpt. Reading & CHAMPS - Less time on Computer Zones

  10. Benefits • Peer pressure to do well in front of the class (don’t want to embarrass themselves) • When you start getting bored of it, they are excited to take it over! • Level 4 scores on your formal, Domain 3, Instruction Kids initiate questions and discussions, checking each other’s behavior and learning environment • www.mscharrow.com
