-Majority of the teachers are really comfortable with the Jan Richardson model of guided reading.
-It has allowed better vertical alignment grades K-5.

Challenges:
In 2nd grade, it's a challenge to find developmentally appropriate text for really high readers.

Money for leveled books for our bookroom.

Training for new folks.

Instructional planning time.

# data[].attributes.body
The teachers have fully implemented Jan Richardson and are working closely with the reading coach. For our higher level guided reading groups students are using their books of choice to practice skills coming down from whole group, instead of teachers picking the text for them. Students respond well because the texts are what they are interested in reading. We have fully embraced reading response journals. Students are writing from what they are reading from the personal choice books in Read to Self.

There is an inequity of resources across schools with books and Literacy Footprints. Also, we don't have the books that are aligned with the new lesson plans created by the coaches.

to widespread of reading levels within one classrooms (creates too many reading groups)

Still not enough books in book room and not enough of the right books

Word study piece is still lacking and doesn't align with reading

Sight word list isn't enough

Time for writing! Even though we have it in the master schedule we aren't able to get to the true whole writing process.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone on the same page with whole and small group reading.  Whole group is stronger.  The think aloud piece of whole group.

Areas of growth
Strengthening Word Study understanding
Understanding what to do with the notes that they take in small group and how to change instruction
More real books for students/Book room

# data[].attributes.body
Quality literacy stations and targeted use of digital resources to monitor reading progress.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers are using the lesson plan format well.
Teachers are taking notes and using data to guide instruction.

Our teachers are fully committed K-5 to the Jan Plan.  Guided reading has been the focus for the past two years of PD as well as working with our consultative coach.  We continue to see positive strides in student achievement.

Inconsistency with the level of proficiency of implementation of Jan Guided reading because of teacher turn over.
We have to find balance and patience with the new teacher who is receiving first year training within a month's time.

Strength
New teachers are eager to learn and receptive to training and feedback.

Reflection:
It is important to monitor the plans by looking at the movement of students based on grouping assignments.

Strengths
Our teachers are crushing Jan and sharing ideas/lesson plans. They are submitting them weekly/monthly.  Our reading coach has provided additional training and supports when needed.

Challenges
Implementing Jan Plan for new teachers and ex ed/intervention for flood in support. We are finding it hard to provide staff development for Jan Plan when so much time for PD has been spent on the new VSCIP format and Deeper Learning focus. Another ongoing challenge continues to be funding for small group text. It's amazing how little $5,000 can get you. Our hope is that HCPS will continue to think about providing one elearning resource for both reading and math. With 100% of our schools having access to Raz-Kids or another reading program, our new computers/iPads would have access to thousands of text.
