Monday Morning Memo

4/22/19 - 4/26/19

Thank you for working hard in reviewing student work in our Math Number Talks professional development this past Monday.  What we know to be effective is analyzing these tasks/formative assessments aligned to the learning target or teaching point to determine our next steps in teaching.  This will support increased student achievement in math overall.

What is also effective is the selection of your learning targets aligned to the mathematical practices.  The Math Practices can be integrated into any math lesson, and as students implement multiple math practices in their tasks/formative assessments you assign them, they will increase their proficiency in math across the board.

I always appreciate your hard work as we move into May.  Thank you for being present and in the moment as you learn strategies that support all of your students.

Instructional Focus-

Please ensure that your daily schedules are updated.   I will be going into classrooms based on your schedule you have shared with me.  I will continue to come to your classrooms with the lens of Tier 1 Instruction and Guided Reading.  I will also be conducting a data sweep of effective practices based on our professional development this year.

Once again, here is the link to the “Updated Tier 1 Look-Fors”.  Within these presentations you can review the effective practices I will be observing.

SBAC Testing-

Here is the link to the final SBAC testing schedule. 

PLC Release-

Please ensure that you get your subs requested within the next two weeks for your grade level PLC.  Once your day has been approved by me (we do not want multiple grade levels released on the same day ideally), then please see Cathy to ensure that your day gets on the master calendar.

Recess Duty-
