Mathematics Continued • enVision series and embedded PD • Problem solving aligned to CCSS and Scope and Sequence. • SORICO Curriculum Based Measures • Starting to focus on Standards for Mathematical Practice
ELA • Effective incorporation of informational texts without a loss of important narrative elements at all grade levels • Effective use of high level comprehension strategies, accountable talk • Diversity in the use of projects based learning…depth to so many things • Shift to increase small group work
Skills Blocks • Happening consistently at each grade level • Allows targeted instruction and flexible groupings • Exploits teacher strengths (skill, level match, etc.) • Students get exposed to more diversity in teaching styles
RTI • Tier 2 and 3 well developed, implemented and monitored • Excellent RTI work in Behavior • Tier 1 building wide umbrella needs work
School Improvement Plan • Goals • Problem Solving • Informational Text • PBIS • Measurement • Outcomes TBD for 2012-2013
Teacher Evaluation • SLO • Direct tie to student outcomes • Ongoing integrated process not an episodic event • PGG
GROWTH MODEL 2013-2014 • Direct tie between student performance and teacher effectiveness rating. • Compares student individual growth to like baselines

ELA Citing evidence
Continue CCSS Transition • New benchmarking and Progress Monitoring Tools • Renaissance/STAR ??? • Incorporate prescriptive programs into ELA curriculum • Embedded PD on delivery of CCSS • Move to incorporate SORICO ELA Scope & Sequence • Pilot new anchor reading program???

PBISPositive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture and needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. • Formal rollout delayed until September 2013 • Data based system of positive rewards • Structured social programming • “ODR” and “Think Sheet” • Team has been working hard, testing & tweaking program elements.
Implement 2014-15 SY • High DOK prompts integrating many skills • Computer based. • Real-time results, 2x/year
Communication • Principal’s forum every 4-8 weeks 2013-2014 SY • Focused presentation10-20 minutes • Open Q & A 10-20 minutes • Blog based chats? • Twitter chats?
