What implications does your data have on the upcoming grade levels?

How many students are below, on and above grade level?

How will this data drive the make-up of your classes?

Do you have the right people in the right places to meet the need?

What does your subgroup data say about the amount of additional support that needs to be in place?

# data[].attributes.body
How many students will be served at each grade level?

What other supports do these students also need (ex: math and reading interventions)?

How can the schedule provide these students with BOTH opportunities for support (EC/ESL and in-class interventions)?

Have EC and ESL teachers at the table when making scheduling decisions, to ensure that students get both interventions and EC/ESL support.

According to Ron Williams, Powerschool Scheduling Contact (ronalde.williams@cms.k12.nc.us), there are 2 options: 7 period day (single block the math-68 min. long) or 8 period day (double block the math-periods will be 56 min. shorter)

# data[].attributes.body
Literacy teachers teach S. Studies (30 min. daily) and Math teaches Science (Science 1 hr. Daily)

Intervention blocks purposefully scheduled

3-5th Science special areas- teacher assistant (pulls small groups during the K-2 special area time) Downside: Lack of substitute coverage because teacher assistants are used for specials

# data[].attributes.body
Whole school intervention block at the same time Downside: all support is stretched

K-2 block vs. 3-5 block

K-1, 2-3, 4-5 blocks staggered for flex grouping across those grade bands

Flex group so TD teacher can be support in one group

Consider walkthroughs for TA groups as well to ensure accountability.
