Enrichment challenge- Facilitating small group discussions for children to provide a richer differentiated experience beyond differentiated work packets.
Academic support challenge- Students who need extra academic support aren't getting enough hours of the help/ resources they need to catch up with peers.

# data[].attributes.body
A challenge in 2nd grade is the number of students that need support. We're having a hard time finding time for dedicated intervention groups. We have thought about doing it during Flex Learning on Zoom, but kids need in-class support, too (teacher cannot be on computer with headphones and help students in class).

Goal: Dedicated small group time built into schedule.

Challenge: challenging kids who are meeting expectations and/or exceeding in some areas

Goal: Find ways to connect with these kids beyond the regular instruction they're receiving

Use the extra day and extended time to provide a more enriching educational environment for all.

# data[].attributes.body
1st: Group of students reading above grade level and need more enrichment. Teacher struggling time for individual conferences but has introduced Readers Theater. Kids have figured out their roles and are enjoying it.

3rd: Feels rushed through every subject and it's been hard to find times to have enriching conversations. How to use the flex time?

Flex time: kids that need extension have book clubs, kids that are support have a computer program/1:1s, but grade level kids aren't always getting what they need

How can we better utilize our staff for academics (Associates, small group rules, etc).

Ideas: Readers Theater, differentiated projects, small group teacher roles, more small group time with learning specialists

# data[].attributes.body
Any ideas of what staffing will be like?

What type of training can associates receive to be better prepared to do academic support?

What kind of RTI plan can we get in place?

Group Discussion and Reflection (10-15 minutes)
What progress did you make toward your goal/next step?
What are some take-aways you have as a group?
Is there anything you will continue to work on from now until the end of the year?
Individual Reflection (10-15 minutes)
Complete this individual reflection

# data[].attributes.body
Looking forward to starting the next year with a consistent schedule so that differentiation can occur with greater consistency and value. Back to one associate per two classroom teachers will be helpful. We do know that differentiation will still look and feel different if we keep cohorts separate. Group tables? Still in rows?
