Questions about Integrated Cluster Model, etc. by Andrea Hegge

jdeskin — 2025-05-21 22:23:43 UTC

Not really a question, but I would like to thank you for taking the time to link all of these amazing resources. I am eager to dive into the Inquiry & Research projects as well as the Reading Remakes. I have been struggling this year on how to reach the hi cap students and I think these items will help fill that void on how to challenge them.

Thank you for the presentation. While the focus was on the structure of the day and what HMH offers, I have some questions regarding math resources, specifically for enhancing Hicap instruction in the primary grades, K-3. I am particularly interested in materials for third grade, as we seem to have few provided to us. While I understand that the fourth and fifth grades have the Ingenuity program, I would love to explore more available resources for third grade.

I don't really have any questions, but do appreciate the information on the Inquiry and Research Projects along with the Reading Remakes. I also like having access to the bridging docs so that we can see how the skills develop over the curriculum.

In first grade we run two 15 minute small reading groups Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Fri. During this time, our students pulled for ELD, LAP, or LC/Blended. This schedule doesn't really allow time (maybe 1 time a week) to work with these students. What suggestions do you have about this conundrum? Do I need to find another time to additionally serve my students or because they are already receiving special services is that sufficient enough?

Will educators who run intervention groups (ELD, LAP, etc) be trained or expected to use the same engagement and classroom management routines so it is consistent across all classrooms? Can our school get a set of extra Rigby readers for all teachers to access for students above or below grade level instead of having to borrow from fellow teachers?

Thank you for putting this training together for us. It was a great reminder of all the available resources in HMH (like the exit tickets). It was great to have the Rigby Readers listed by skill and additional grade levels for use with our students. I was hoping to clarify what the expectation for math would be specifically in 3rd grade where we have limited district supplied materials for hi-cap students. Thanks again!

This is a lot of information to take in. Thank you for organizing links to some of the HMH materials.

Like Ms. Micelli, I often wonder how to find enough time in my day to meet with my students who receive interventions M, T, Th, F. I am also curious about where other schools are finding 30 minutes of WIN time... the time we have is the time we have so what are they giving up or trading out to gain that time?

In addition, I would also like to know more about what materials NSD could provide for third grade math HiCap.

I don't have any specific questions. Thank you for the great presentation loaded with a lot of reminders and resources. I am excited to try the Inquiry and Research Projects next year! As well as the Differentiated Spelling as I didn't know it was written by Words their Way author. Very cool!

I would like to try the Inquiry and Research Projects with my students next year if they are able to work though a project independently. It would be great for students to take more ownership of their own learning and utilize individual work time appropriately to work through assignments. I also wonder how to feasibly work more with students who receive pull out services.

Thank you for organizing this information for us. Now that we are used to the program and how it works, it's nice to be reminded of all the resources offered. My hope is that our MH scheduling team can implement the example primary schedule shown in this presentation for 2nd grade next year. It is hard to find additional time to work with our students who receive pull-out extra services. I do like the progress monitoring options given. I dabbled with it this year, but plan to use it more next year.

Thanks so much, Andrea! I am very grateful for the NSD Bridging Documents. Having easy access to the anchor charts, Rigby Readers, standard shifts, and graphic organizers is incredibly helpful! I look forward to accessing the exit tickets, inquiry and research projects, and Reading Remakes! Thanks again! -Jessica Murphy

I really appreciate all of these resources and the slide deck, Andrea. Thank you! As the LAP teacher, I love using the anchor charts to support what students are learning/going to learn in class and the bridging documents are very helpful for that. Question- Can LAP get sets of the rigbys?

Andrea, I really appreciate your work putting all these resources together and explaining the slides for this course. I plan to use the Summary Recording Forms next school year as I didn't know about them. I don't have questions, but I would like to mention that although my students had literacy centers and support to complete them along the school year, it was very challenging meeting with different groups as I had several students receiving different kinds of support. It would be great if I could have extra time on my schedule to accommodate more small group meetings.

I appreciate having all these resources in one place and look forward to trying something new. I also appreciate the example primary schedule. schedule. It’s nice to see a way to fit it all in. I’m hoping it is easy to implement with our building schedule next year.

This was very informative and helpful! Thank you for all of the resource reminders. I don't have any specific questions at this time, but look forward to diving more deeply into the book club guides and inquiry projects.

Thanks for organizing all of this and putting together the information! Figuring out scheduling for instruction that meets everyone's needs is always hard, especially working around SPED, LAP, and ELD services, and teachers getting time to work with all kids. I appreciate the work that's been put in and especially the example schedule. I hope we as a building are able to use this in a way to make it feel smooth for classroom teachers and support teachers. I don't have any specific questions at this time but would love more conversations around what's working and what's not.

2025-06-18 22:21:29 UTC

This was a great opportunity to talk about all the supports and their schedules. I think that it is very important to consider SPED, LAP, and ELD services when considering the master schedule. I am hoping this upcoming new year will bring an easier schedule that works for all parties, while also making sure student legal minutes are met.
