]]> 2017-10-05 13:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194303511 This process feels like a deficit approach to begin with, rather than an asset approach. I don't recall discussion about where our interventions were working and what we can learn from those successes.

]]> 2017-10-06 13:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194671259 TIME. We are stressed about making all of these changes and getting our groups for tier 2 and tier 3 set so these changes can be made to schedules and parents can be contacted. At the middle level, we plan to do this by the start of 2nd quarter which is Oct 23. Students/parents will need to know about these changes in advance of this date. https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194672461 2017-10-06 13:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194672461 Technology. Secondary is so behind with technology access for our students. This needs to be a bigger priority. It seems like all tech initiatives start at the elementary level where most schools already have more access to tech for students/staff than any secondary building https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194674479 2017-10-06 13:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194674479 Website glitches: https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194675484 The site will show reports for some teachers and not for others - why?

CBMs are assigned to students, but do not show up for students when they log in.

Other issues:
Why aren't AUTOreading and COMPefficiency available to add as assessments?  At the HS level, CBMreading only monitors fluency, not comprehension or vocab.
-Both of these assessments are still in lab so until we know more about them and have validated cut scores, we are hesitant to encourage teachers to use them.  They may be a great tool in the future, however.  At the HS level, we can use the CBMreading and use the comprehension attached to that for progress monitoring.

Implementing this is not hard, but we can't succeed if the technology does not work correctly. ]]> 2017-10-06 13:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194675484 TIME https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/194675610 We need to spend this time on our tier 2 and 3 groups so we can begin notifying parents and changing schedules in the next few days.

]]> 2017-10-18 21:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/198464831 I COMPLETELY agree with the comments about stress. It seems like stress levels are at an all time high right now with all the changes. Ultimately, I understand that these changes will be good a thing, yet at the same time, it seems like we are so scheduled tight that we've lost time for interventions that were good for students--i.e. just being able to do a Go Noodle or other brain break. https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/199079566 2017-10-20 14:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lacees/3j7f0nrtaf4r/wish/199079566
