Admin Observations

 

This week we will continue focusing on workshop for our admin collaborative observations. These observations provide us an opportunity to support you in achieving our second 100 Day Sprint (school goal)-To increase the overall number of students proficient from Interims 1 to 2 by 5% in all subjects through personalized instruction (workshop).” Let’s continue to use our Data Dig process to structure our approach to personalize instruction. More time will be spent on this process in our DDI meetings this month.

Benchmark Testing

 


Benchmark testing (Y5-3 AimswebPlus, 4-6 DIBELS) will begin for virtual students on Friday January 8 and in person students on January 11.  Intervention staff will conduct all benchmark testing for grades Y5-6 and won’t be following their typical service schedule.  All 7th and 8th graders will need to have their regular progress monitoring conducted at this point in the year. Please encourage students to continue reading as you have.  We really want to see students showing growth from the beginning of the year. The intervention team will provide more communication as it approaches.  Your flexibility and support, as always, are appreciated!
