Inman does a great job of taking a positive approach to new, and difficult situations. We are intentional about recognizing small and large celebrations and we expect all of our students to succeed. We don't make excuses when they don't. Instead, we analyze who and why they didn't and what we can do to change that for next time. We work together as a team and school to support struggling students and to help each other stay on track with the new curriculum. This year, teams plan together (content teachers), but specials schedules do not allow for team meetings. We do a good job of incorporating both support teachers and classroom teachers in PD on core curriculum. It is very important that all staff have at least a basic understanding of what kids are expected to do because if we don't we can't support kids building-wide with a common language, common goals, and guaranteed and viable curriculum. When we work together we are stronger and more effective, and I think I have seen a large growth in that area this year as a building. :)

collaboratively working together for the success of our students.  We are using interventions put in place according to those students who need them and do receive some time to collaborate.  We definitly could use more time to develop what we are doing already to do it even better.   I would like to see our top students be engaged in more advanced curriculumt in order to achieve the "math" and other testing out advantages for them.  I am always feeling blessed to be working where I am and with the staff that I work with.  We are on our way...lots of work as we continue ahead of us!

At IPS I see a lot of team collaboration. We work as a team to plan in our classrooms everyday.

IPS is very similar to the school in the article  in the fact that we have the best staff that is willing to do whatever it takes to help students learn.  We collaborate well by having team meetings once a week.  We also plan our lessons and do unit  reflections to make sure that we are all doing the same things in all grade level classrooms.  We are always attending PLC conferences to educate ourselves on the best practices and to make sure that we are doing the best for students and ourselves.  This article was a great reflection to know we are on track!!

Reading about this school's journey to student achievement success is inspiring and encouraging!  If they can have success with all students, then so can we.  It is obvious that this entire school community is working as a team and their mission is clear.  IPS is on the same path with many of the components in place that Mason Crest has in place.   We also have a clear mission, PLC teams, guaranteed curriculum, essential standards identified, daily intervention in small groups and effective core instruction.  This is an exceptional story!

A theme that I heard in this article is that instruction is deliberate and intentional.  Teams collaborate and analyze data which guides instructional strategies.  This school operates with a sense of urgency in that they don't wait for students to fail, but instead work to close gaps with daily interventions and differentiated instruction.  Demographics is not used as an excuse.

We focus as a team on the essential standards that are necessary for appropriate learning targets, and establishing that all important guaranteed and viable curriculum.

Like IPS,  they systematically respond to students who are not learning.  it sounds as though they have a timely almost immediate dlivery of targeted support.  i wonder how quickly this actually is,  a day,  a week???

Reading this article reminded me so much of the team of educators here at IPS. I feel we are all very dedicated to the success of our students and that is why we are educators. Working together as teams to make lesson plans is a great idea so everyone is teaching the same material across the grade for consistency. Like the school in the article we also are working on common language, common knowledge, and common expectations. This is what is best for the success of our students. The article also talked about how students benefit from having guaranteed and viable curriculum that is more consistent from classroom to classroom. I look forward to seeing the benefits of this for our students. I also feel our objectives are the same as theirs when they talked about delivering timely and targeted support as soon as students show any signs of difficulty.

What I gained from reading this article is that IPS is alot like their school.  We do alot of the same things they do.  We have taken the time, energy, and resources to garantee our students a viable curriculm but there is definately room for improvement.  Our team meets and plans together but I don't think we stay on the same page all the time.  So what is the point of planning together if we don't always stay together?

The article discusses how Mason Crest recognizes that students benefit from having a guaranteed and viable curriculum that is consistent from classroom to classroom.  This has been a huge focus for us throughout the school year and we can see from our data how this has already benefited our students as well.

We are very similar to this school, as I look at how supportive one another are.  We too can achieve good things when we work together. One day they will be writing an article about our successes. They are 92% proficient with 51% free and reduced.  We got this!

We believe every piece of work has a purpose. We are intentionally focused on improving instructional practices. We are focused on providing a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all students. We are committed to looking at student data to improve instructional practices and student learning. Interventions are provided daily within our extended literacy block. We have a belief that student learning can improve if we improve how we work independently and collectively.

Those are three words that staff members at Mason Crest use to describe their instruction, and I believe IPS can use those words as well. There is always room for improvement, but I have thought through and planned every minute of the day, our team has planned together and agreed on essential learning, and committed to teach the same thing at the same time. Students could move from classroom to classroom without missing a beat, which is more than we could ever say before.

I like that when they have new staff they "cycle" back thru their commitments so even the new staff has the common language, knowledge and expectations.  Otherwise, it seems as tho' IPS is headed in the same direction as MCES by having intentional PD and believing all students can achieve.
