The panelist on the panel discussion seemed extremely knowledgeable about literacy initiatives that we can use school based and district based.

Our county is very excited to have a Literacy Coach in every elementary school this year who will be dedicated to working with teachers to advance student learning.

We have had great success through using a content support teacher (full time teacher) to lead professional learning through a PDSA. Having professional learning specialized to the school level is meaningful and teachers are really engaged.

Consistent collaborative planning structures facilitated by trained literacy coaches.

It’s been important to have continued opportunities for professional development. Last year we had quarterly half day PD times for grade levels. This allowed for deep understanding and application of the instructional implications provided by our new assessments.

Salisbury University and our Partner Schools on the Eastern Shore collaborate and communicate effectively. There is potential for additional opportunities to work together on literacy initiatives which all parties are eager to take on!

Consistent data meetings that lead to actionable next steps for instruction. Not just looking at data and then putting it away until the next data meeting.

Having administration run grade-level data meetings with STUDENTS to discuss strengths, areas of growth and next steps. When students hear from the principal what he/she is looking for (from the students) when they do walkthroughs has been extremely helpful.

Using screening data to determine students who are “at risk”, then diagnosing learning gaps, selecting from a narrowed list of interventions to address the gaps, using a common tool to progress monitor.

We are in the process of hiring a literacy coach to help support our secondary teachers in the science of reading.

We are hiring Literacy Coaches in 7 of our schools, elementary and middle. We also provide grade levels with daily collaborative planning time.

In ACPS we are striving to create a clearer and more consistent through-line between elementary and secondary. Our secondary coaches are meeting regularly with elementary coaches to share and discuss data and strategies. We are training all coaches together. Collaboration is key!

In the secondary world, every middle school (22 schools) engages in full station rotation in ELA. The teacher-led station is our focus in which we support TSGI. This year we are embarking on resetting Tier 1 through station rotation. Big Shoutout to our Principals and partners for their support 💚🙌🏾.

Big Focus on younger grades-Go back to best practices of what we can do for Tier I and II interventions? Must to daily informal assessing rather than waiting until a huge benchmark test is completed to determine gaps.

We begin with EOY data as we work to benchmark beginning of year. We the. Regroup students every 4th week and discuss students data during regrouping. Every 5th week we have Kid Talk for students who are not meeting with success. We discuss more of their data and determine additional tier I strategies for them to try for 3 weeks and bring data back to analyze. We then determine what Tier II intervention is needed. Our MTSS document drives our regrouping based on units of study but at least every 4th week. Teachers must have communicated phone/conference with parents prior to bringing students to kid talk.

Thank you to the panelists. A lot of great info. was shared. I would've loved to have seen slides for each to capture key points shared as this was a lot of verbal info when over 90% of us are visual learners.

What is WORKING can feel loaded, but answer I will…

1. intentional incorporation of literacy promotion and education in parent engagement events

2. Having ALL teachers complete multiple SUNY courses

3. Using an intervention program as the basis for a summer elective

4. Creation of a systemwide cross-curricular discussion rubric.
