Thompson Schools- Early Wednesdays by Debbie Hunsaker

3- If time allows, watch this video with your team: Instructional Priorities Video

STRIVE — 2021-07-11 23:25:14 UTC

Watch this video on the alignment of the Instructional Priorities and the Focus Folder. Take time to discuss this with your grade level team and plan how you will use it for whole group, small group, and interventions.

Additional Resource: Instructional Priorities Chart

STRIVE — 2021-07-11 23:25:14 UTC

Print your grade level and place in your Focus Folder as an extra resource.

1- Watch this video: Focus Folder Grouping with i-ready

STRIVE — 2021-09-01 00:25:21 UTC

Watch this video for support with grouping students on the Focus Folder using your i-ready data. It would be best to do this with a team. If you need help, jump on your grade level zoom link to ask questions.

2- Group your students on your Focus Folder using your i-ready data. If you need the flowcharts, click the link below. They are in the "During Professional Development" column.

4: Use the guiding questions to discuss the Instructional Priorities video

STRIVE — 2021-09-01 11:56:43 UTC

How could we use the instructional priorities chart to support core instruction, including both whole group and small groups?
How could we use the instructional priorities chart to support targeted interventions?
What is a next step we could take to utilize the priorities in the chart for each of our groups on our Focus Folder?

5. Join your zoom invite (see 3rd-5th invite in next column) to ask questions as needed.

Study Sessions

STRIVE — 2022-04-17 17:58:45 UTC

If you don't pass the test with 80% or higher, we are here to support you. We will set up study sessions to review your results and help you be successful retaking the assessment.

Written Response Example- This is the last question you will answer on the end of course assessment. This is a model answer that we thought might be helpful in determining what and how much to write.

STRIVE — 2022-04-17 17:59:15 UTC

I appreciate knowing how the SOR is reflected in our Ready GEN materials. I plan on utilizing more of the routines in Ready GEN that align with what I learned in the SOR. Three examples include the following:

1- Decoding multisyllabic words- I learned how important it is to teach students how to decode multisyllabic words for automatic word recognition, which is a critical component in Scarborough's Rope.

2- Explicit vocabulary instruction- There is a great routine in Ready GEN. I will use it each week to explicitly teach the key words to help students better comprehend the complex text they are reading.

3- Monitoring comprehension- I will do more think-a-louds to model for my students the importance of monitoring their comprehension.
