We are noticing lower social/emotional and self-esteem skills in our pre -k students than usual.

Compared to last year our students this year are lower academically.

2023-11-06 22:30:36 UTC

We are consistent as a team. As a grade level kids are scoring below 50%. Even with giving 5 mins for exit tickets students are still struggling to finish within the time.

2023-11-06 22:31:33 UTC

We wonder if it’s going to accurately assess our students.

Rapid letter naming and rapid number naming may not show accurate results in the Circle Assessment.

RLA dual and monolingual do not always have the same TEKS assessed.

2023-11-06 22:32:17 UTC

Math - all are doing the same TEK.

2023-11-06 22:32:25 UTC

3rd

I noticed that the same TEK is giving different results on different days.

2023-11-06 22:33:01 UTC

Majority of students were successful on their exit tickets!!!!

Students are looking forward exit tickets

We are seeing improvements in language skills and building vocabulary.

Improving in following routines

Some small steps forward in SEL

2023-11-06 22:34:01 UTC

I wonder why it is are not aligned with STAAR.

2023-11-06 22:34:18 UTC

When introducing the skill, students are scoring low. However, as we progress, they’re growing and understanding what they are doing.

2023-11-06 22:34:47 UTC

We would like to see more improvement in self - regulation skills and less attention seeking behavior.

2023-11-06 22:34:54 UTC

How does the exit tickets correlate to staar questions? How is the data comparable to other 5th grade teams. (Are all schools inputting the data the same?)

We noticed k.6b (shapes)is our lowest tek. We notice our exit tickets are different for RLA between dual language and monolingual.

2023-11-06 22:35:42 UTC

We use circles data to plan small group and large group activities to meet students needs.

Kinder

2023-11-06 22:36:15 UTC

We wonder when we will have time to reteach concepts that the students did not master because there are not built in days in the calendar.

2023-11-06 22:37:13 UTC

We use this data to support one another. We’re able to model to each other how we use it in our class. We can also use it to monitor and adjust by creating small groups.

2023-11-06 22:37:20 UTC

Celebrating Mrs. Irizarry’s scores.

Consider that in Math the TEK may be the same, but the rigor may be different, so how does that show growth?

2023-11-06 22:37:32 UTC

Kinder

2023-11-06 22:37:35 UTC

We are celebrating that most of the kids are mastering concepts.

2023-11-06 22:37:46 UTC

Students are improving with their writing with the use of the RACE strategy. For Math, we are seeing improvements within the exit tickets (example multi step problems they are now at least getting step one correct).

Why do we have to do it every day?

2023-11-06 22:38:04 UTC

Kinder

2023-11-06 22:38:34 UTC

We need more time to gather materials so that we are fully prepared to teach each lesson. We need to reteach tek k.6b.

2023-11-06 22:40:12 UTC

Areas of improvement - basic multiplication facts

Areas of improvement - main idea and details

More latitude in the way we do Exit tickets.

2023-11-06 22:40:37 UTC

2023-11-06 22:40:38 UTC

Make sure to pick just one question for the students to show their mastery.

Kinder

2023-11-06 22:40:44 UTC

It helps us to see what tek students need more practice with, and to see a pattern of which students are struggling and which are mastering.

2023-11-06 22:42:48 UTC

we have noticed our students are struggling to write independently.

2023-11-06 22:43:18 UTC

We use the data to target and create small groups.

1st Mono

2023-11-06 22:43:37 UTC

1.6G we notice students are recalling key details of the story.

2023-11-06 22:44:37 UTC

Students are supporting their answers with text evidence.

2023-11-06 22:44:54 UTC

We use this data to see what teks we need to spiral back through. Then able to assign specific teks in i ready.
