A reminder about the importance of intentional teaching and reflection in the classroom. We often get caught up in the fast pace that is expected and this ultimately hurts our students. We must stop and reflect in order to adjust and meet the needs of all our students.

Student progress is extremely important! However, you can't know how your students are progressing if you don't know their achievement level. Progress and achievement go hand in hand.

Common Assessments are an important part of truly assessing student learning and growth.  You need to have quality common assessments that are measuring objectives.  Once assessments are given, the results need to be assessed by both teachers and students in order to improve teaching and learning.

The questions on page 107 in the playbook would be great to use in order to structure reflection time within a PLC meeting, especially the question "how did this change the way we currently think, or disrupt assumptions we had?".

This chapter helped me identify ways in which I can help my teachers work through the PLC process and truly identify which subgroups are achieving, which are hitting the "ceiling," and which students are truly falling behind and need additional support(s).

As teachers we need to make sure we are reaching all of our students needs and ensuring each of them is growing so I liked this visual to see where each student was located and then being able to reflect on how to move students into the high progress section.

I think it is important for all students to grow each year.  So often our highly intelligent student do well on their assessments and we don't think about their growth.  many years ago I had a student that made an A in my class but he put no effort into it and my comment was that he wasn't living up to his potential.  Reflecting on that I now know I should have been putting more effort into pushing him not only to get an A but to make progress.

If we focus on only one of those areas, students will miss out on learning opportunities. It's important that we look at students' achievement levels to determine how we need to adjust our instruction; however, we also need to meet students where they are and develop a plan to move them forward.

Seeing the Progress/Achievement Grid really helped me see how I can organize my data in a more manageable way. With more than 100 students, it can be overwhelming to look at all the numbers, but if I categorize them in this grid, I can study each chunk individually. - Alyssa Martin

I believe that student growth or progress is more important than student achievement. It is not about being perfect, but about improving. As long as students continue to grow, I will always be proud of that success.

First, I plan to use the John Dewey quote (page 125) on the wall in our PLT meeting space. Learning is based on reflection—not experience. We can ALL learn something new every day. Second, I am looking forward to diving into effect-size on a teacher- and student-level. ~Lynn Flood, AMS
