Positives:
1. SUCCESS - time for targeted learning for small groups.
2. Collaborative time for staff

Areas for growth:
1. Establish essential standards that are consistent across grade levels throughout district.
2. SUCCESS - utilizing it to it's maximum extent & make it more fluid as students need assistance.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives:
1. We have started to identify "essential standards".
2. We have implemented time to discuss as a grade level what is working well and how students could improve.
Areas of Growth:
1. Looking at how to best utilize success time.
2. Looking at all of the standards per grade level and determining which are essential and which are nice to know. Then moving from there and looking at units and determining a scope and sequence for those units and adding resources to that for the grade level to use.

# data[].attributes.body
2 things going well:
* Know me know my name
* SUCCESS

2 areas for growth:
* SUCCESS
*Consistency/Collaboration across grade level - Identifying essential standards

# data[].attributes.body
2 well:  We have a plan for identifying kids who need more help.  Our grade level has a quarterly assessment that we use to drive instruction, find students who need more.  The standards based progress report gives us a good start as to the power standards

2 growth opportunities:
More interventions -- homework lunch, title money used for interventionists
grade levels deciding, as a group, power standards,

# data[].attributes.body
Positives:
We have ELA and Math teams within the school to help on focusing more specifically on the data.
We are embracing as a district that we need curriculum help.

Growth: We desperately need to unpack essential standards.
More formative assessments and feedback on a personal level.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives:
1.  RTI process in place
2.   Grade levels to have time to discuss targeted interventions

Growth Opportunities:
1. Continue Tier 1 & 2 interventions once Tier 3 interventions are added
2.  Re-Thinking how RTI is used (not only Tier 3)

# data[].attributes.body
Positives
1. We have grade level conversations within the building on standards and assessments.
2. Atlas has helped us determine the power standards and set a time frame for each.
Growth
1. I think it would be beneficial unpack the power standards so that we understand them in a deeper way to teach our students more effectively. We would need to update Atlas.
2. I would like to do more formative assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
2 positives
1. Started to be strategic with intervention (using data more efficiently)
2. Using formative assessments to guide instruction to close gaps.
2 growths
1. Develop a consistent model for levels of intervention - be specific on what HAS to occur at each level.
2. Develop power standards at each grade level.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Setting aside time as a building to discuss standards that are expected to know.
2.
Growth:
1. Determining a model for assessment collection.
2. Intervention determination, what to do with those who need RTI, what service do we provide? How do we move forward with RTI?

Well: The district

Grow:  By creating district assessment guidelines and RTI guidelines, all staff members will be on the same boat, following similar models to address the gaps in student achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We have a good start on the "Power Standards"  with Atlas.
2. We have a great RTI process already.

1. We need to update Atlas.
2. Possibly revamp Success time to make it more of an intervention time...right now we include all students in Tier 1.  Should we be doing that?

# data[].attributes.body
Positives: EV has started having grade-level conversations regarding "essential" standards for the use of Success Groups.  We also implemented cross-grade level meetings to increase conversations about what students need to know.

Growth: Our RtI plan needs to be adjusted and specified for how we will intervene on students' behalf to address deficiencies.
Working as "cilos" has been the normal and this will need to be improved as we strive to improve our instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives
1. We have started ways to highlight the essential standards that all students need to know across the district.
2. We have a good structure put in place to identify student needs.
Ways to Grow
1. We can work on updating Atlas in order to keep the standards aligned across the district.
2. We can work together more across the district to create common assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
What are we doing well: We have the structure in place for identifying student needs

Where can we grow: Thinking strategically about how to maximize Tier 2 and Tier 3 -- how to use our human resources effectively and efficiently, how to target student needs and meet those needs.

# data[].attributes.body
1. As a grade level, we use a good balance of formative and summative assessments.
2. Focus on what we want students to know and be able to do.

1. We need time and guidance to work together as a grade level and as a building.
2. Address old gaps at the same time as addressing the new gaps.

# data[].attributes.body
two positives/two growth opportunities...

What are we doing well? Where can we grow?

What are your three biggest "aha" moments from today's keynote?

3.  Learning for ALL is our purpose.  We are all responsible for getting students there.
