Campus Based Istation Implementation Principal Presentation Presenters: Rosa E. Hernandez Burbank Middle School Clayton Crook, Cullen Middle School
Instructional Implementation • How are we scheduling students into the labs for Istation? - For the ISIP (Istation Indicators of Progress), students took the BOY in their English Language Arts classes over the course of 2 days. We used 3 laptop carts and 6 computer labs. - Throughout the week, teachers will sign up on a calendar to reserve labs for iStation use.
Instructional Implementation • What resources are we using for interventions per tier? • Tier 1: Teachers will use the activities and lessons in Istation for whole group instruction. • Tier 2: During PowerPeriod/Before School/After School tutorials teachers request laptop carts or labs so students can get individualized intervention on Istation. • Tier 2: During Saturday tutorials teachers will have the option to put their students in rotation with technology teachers so they can work on Istation. • Tier 3: Students in the Fundamentals of Reading class will be required to login to Istation in class once at least week.
Instructional Implementation • How are we encouraging our campus teachers to implement differentiated instruction? i.e. small group instruction - Provide planning time to discuss differentiated strategies. - Provide internal staff development over differentiated instruction. - Referring teachers to HISD’s Instructional Practice rubric to give clear targets and actionable feedback to improve their instructional practice.
Instructional Implementation • Current interventions we have in place to ensure students success in Reading and Writing. - Morning and afternoon tutorials. - Power Period. - Saturday tutorials. - Intervention classes, such as STAAR Reading, STAAR Writing, and Fundamentals of Reading in the master schedule.
Instructional Implementation • How are we monitoring Istation progress on our campus? - Use the Summary Report monthly to get a snapshot of how entire grade levels are doing.
Instructional Implementation • How are we monitoring Istation progress on our campus? - Use the Skill Growth Report monthly to see how entire grade levels are progressing on specific skills over time.
Instructional Implementation • How are we monitoring Istation progress on our campus? - The Tier Movement Report helps analyze and compare the number and percent of students each tier group has from month to month.
Instuctional Implementation • How do teachers access data and share data with their students? • Teachers will use “Priority Reports” and it will be optional for teachers to share “Student Summary Reports” with parents.
Instructional Implementation • Collaborating about student progress and intervention strategies. • During Department PLC time teachers will discuss what interventions along with Istation have the best impact on student achievement.
Teacher Support • How do teachers with students with little progress get the support they need? - AP’s have conversations with students that show regression or little progress. - Seek customized professional development experiences from TDS. - Actionable feedback given from classroom observations when using Istation.
Conducting Instructional Walks • What should administrators look for during their Istation instructional walks? - Active participation v. passive compliance - Teacher monitoring student usage & providing differentiated instruction in small groups. - Differentiated instructional screen level when students are working through the program.
Data Analysis Meetings • Once a month during early release we have Department PLC time where teachers and the department administrator discuss student progress and what assist they may need from administration.
Small Group Instruction Support • Teachers are able to tutor before school/ after school/ or Saturdays to provide small group instruction. • Teachers are able to request laptops to provide differentiated instruction in the classroom for level 2 and 3 students
