Monday Morning Memo

Week of 3/11-3/15

As the Math Student-Centered Coaching Cycle has been af focus at Crown Point, we have learned that there is a lot of crossover and a tight connection between the ELA and math Tier 1 instructional strategies.  Throughout this process, I have appreicated the teachers and students noticing those instructional connections between ELA and Math strategies.  I further appreciate teachers noticing and naming (clearly and concisely) the strategies students are using in their instruction.  It is even more powerful when hearing the students notice and name the strategies independently.  Awesome work!!!

Instructional Focus-

I will be continuing to observe Tier1 instructional practices throughout the next couple of weeks.  I will also be collecting data on Guided Reading.  At this point, your daily/weekly schedule has been updated to ensure that I come in the appropriate time frame for guided reading.

Data Monitoring Meetings- (Please note the change)
I will be releasing you on Tuesday, 3/12/19 and Wednesday, 3/13/19  Tuesday, 4/9/19 and Thursday, 4/11/19 to discuss various data points on your entire class and focus students.  I will get you more information to what specifically you will need to bring that.  I will say that you will need to bring a wide variety of formative assessment samples, student work, and overall scores.

More to come soon.

Youtube Concern-

Some students have been heard to talk about the "MoMo Challenge" with one another. This does not appear to be wide-spread, but the content is concerning. This is an online video that challenges people to commit suicide. Throughout these videos, there is concerning language and images shown. It is unclear what students may have seen or heard about this content and this could be on a first or 2nd hand basis. In any case, we want to be proactive about reminding students to use kind, encouraging talk, and to report talk that promotes fear, threats, or negativity. If you hear of any of the MoMo talk or other negativity, please assess if you can address at the class level, and if you need additional support, please let me and Tania Ramirez, our counselor know.
