Celebrating Growth and Pushing Forward

Team,

As students are taking the MAP assessment, we are seeing some good growth and are able to celebrate the accomplishments of students as they meet and exceed their growth goals.  

• Please be sure to have students review their growth goals and goal sheets in their data folders.  Have them record their new score and reflect on their progress.  Encourage students to also see their growth in individual areas within the test as well as the overall growth.
• Be purposeful with having students create a new goal moving forward, this reflection is part of the prepared and resilient learning characteristic and should be uploaded into students' digital backpacks.
• As a class, how much did students grow?  What are celebrations across the class?  What are collective growth needs?  How many students met or surpassed their growth goals?

This week in PLC, you will meet as a team to review student progress and next steps following the learning check and moving forward with instruction.

• Team leaders, please be sure to provide me the PLC minutes for your meetings tomorrow by the end of the day.  Thanks.
• As PLCs are moving to teacher/team lead - please be mindful to set norms for the group.  Links below take you to resources to support your work.
• Take a look at what a PLC is and the aim of effective PLCs.
• Over the next two weeks, take time to set norms for your PLC
