The new initiative this year is data, data, data to drive PD. The school is making a commitment to develop all the spring PD based on school and classroom data. Could the results from some of your studies drive the PD in your building? jody_cleven https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149686562 2017-01-26 17:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149686562 We are using data to work on accelerating our struggling readers with a new Reading Strategies Book. We are also in the middle of implementing Learning Focus. https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770029 -Ashley Smith]]> 2017-01-26 21:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770029 GREG G--I have been working on launching our Afternoon Academy, which is an after-school tutoring program offered to all of our students; we are going to have individual teacher data talks next week; we are analyzing our i-Ready mid-year data and evaluating how we need to use the program moving forward! AND we are planning for a Valentine's Dance. Among many other things! https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770121 2017-01-26 21:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770121 Classroom walk throughs for teachers to walk through other classrooms - " Would you want to be in your classroom?" This is our new focus. https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770196 2017-01-26 21:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770196 Christy https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770225 I believe that one of my participants who is studying Bring Your Own Device will result in an interesting study. This would lead to some PD for my county who is so far behind in technology and the use of technology in the schools. Get rid of those worksheets! My classroom is working hard on sight words and reading! We are 3 weeks behind between floods, snow, and swimming lessons.]]> 2017-01-26 21:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_jackson/2ab69288lwbz/wish/149770225
