Being able to collaborate more with SLMCs. 

Being able to share the coaching load with SLMCs. 

Early stages of implementing PEAK in the Math classes. Excited about rolling out to EOC courses more specifically this summer and general PEAK strategies to the entire district. ]]> 2018-05-14 14:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260495859 damienakelman https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260495984 Strengths
- Still have a strong team
- Strong BTNT Cohorts

Weaknesses
- Transition from two full time coaches to a 1 and 1/2 has been a struggle
- Refocus on MPowerment
- Find more to include SLMCs in on the process
- Not much support for non-PEAK strategies or non-math content
- Personalize Professional Development for teachers to choose]]> 2018-05-14 14:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260495984 traceywaid https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260495989 Strengths:
- Improving focus on standards
- More stations and collaborative lessons are coming around - especially within the media center
- Peak strategies in Math are working --> Excited to extend for next year to EOCs
- Master schedule driven by student need not convenience.
- Drill-based digital resources
- Elective ELTs have helped Damien take instructional leadership, bridge gap with CTE

Weaknesses:
- Differentiation (esp. within whole groups, inclusions, stations)
- Not seeing many instructional strategies / SOS / summarizing / processing strategies
- ELTs have lost the why - needs to return to student focus
- Death by packet
- Inclusion classes don't make good use of co-teacher
- Lack of support for ELLs
- Tech use is very drill heavy - little creativity / student products being seen
- Strung out teachers
- Animosity between CTE / Core / Electives - different expectations, budgets, etc.
- Not having walkthroughs
- Lack of clarity from ES on what the role of the API is and how it is different than a coach
- Talking the talk but not walking the walk
- No small groups]]> 2018-05-14 14:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260495989 feliciadavis https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260496128 Data discussions are getting better.  Some PLCs are very strong in discussion; some PLCs still need to work on how to read their data and use the data to drive instruction.

SLMC strength: work with Ms. Small and Ms. Woodring; the impact and following data

IC strength: support given to NTs and long term subs; helping elective teachers reconsider purposeful grading (participation); serving as an example for lesson planning through Life Skills situation.]]> 2018-05-14 14:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260496128 https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260497153 -Location/proximity of IC/SLMC has helped the team

Following through on Walk Throughs

PLCs very different in approach to data

Classrooms:
lack of personalizing lessons for the students, purposeful/planned grouping, teachers still focusing on whole group rather than working with students face-to-face in small group while other groups have work designed for their needs (remediation/enrichment), overall lack of engagement in classes/lessons]]> 2018-05-14 14:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260498765 aprildavala1_1 https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260499276
Lack of communication from admin to coaches after observations. 

Lack of communication from Principal about our vision, goal, how my role can support. 

Wish I had more time to work with Damien as the other IC on instruction and curriculum. 

Coaches need to better empower teachers to move away from learned helplessness. Then, we can free up more time on our calendar to do the big vision things. 

Lack of engagement in classrooms- I hope PEAK will help with this. 

Lack of differentiation still. 

Can we find a balance between Data talks and bring "joy" back into the classroom for teachers and students? What's the healthy balance? 

BTNT program is wonderful but is so consuming- how can this be better adjusted to still meet their needs but reach the other faculty members too? ]]> 2018-05-14 14:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aprildavala1_1/23zphp1shct3/wish/260499276
