Monday Morning Memo

11/13/17-11/17/17

As we move forward in November, I am noticing more small group instruction to support students with a variety of needs.  I appreciate the use of data to inform your instruction with your students.  I also appreciate how you have implemented the strategies of annotating the text and note-taking.  

Instructional Focus-

This week I will continue to observe instruction with the lens of student engagement.  When you are teaching consider the opportunities for students to show overt evidence that they are engaged (talking, writing…..). Are students asked to collaborate with a strategic partner direct instruction?  Are students annotating or taking notes when they are reading?   Do you direct students to collaborate on a task you have given them?
