- more purposeful in data teams

]]> 2017-09-29 13:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192436835 My Goals: kylie_ringhiser https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192438004 Goal: "Modeling and Implementing our VBO's"
I have had several opportunities to "Stand Up and Own it" :)  A great example was last night.  I gave teachers the wrong time for the Parent Power Hour Night.  Thank goodness we caught it time, however, I had to stand up and own that I was rushing while typing the email to staff and should have double checked the time!
My "passion for growth" is being modeled as I learn alongside teachers as we dive into 2 resources I'm not very familiar with.  Calkins Reading and Word Journys: DSA.  We are all walking through each resource slowly, trying new things, and failing forward together.  "Power of the Team" is an extremely important piece to our work.  Jodie, Kate and I have had to cover each other's meetings, duties, etc several times.  We've also asked other grade levels to step up with fail to fills.  1st grade split a classroom last week which allowed 3rd grade to have their assessment day, which was a great example of Power of the Team.  Therefore, Jodie, Kate and I decided to take their duty on Tuesday next week so they can all go out to lunch together:) I'm trying my best to live by our VBO's, refrain from BCD and always keep E+R=O in mind with everything I do and say. 

Goal: "Supporting one-to- one"
We have had grade level Team Time with myself, math coach, tech teacher and media specialist.  During these times we set up dates to get Kidblog started (going into 1st grade Monday), canvas set up, playing with different apps to support the framework, and discuss ideas. 

Goal: "Still Learning to Read" ongoing PD
I sat with grade level teams for literacy team time on Wednesday and 3-5 teachers expressed a lot of positivity using the "First 6 Weeks" chapter of SLR. I was excited to hear the conversations around community, building a passion for reading in their community and less focus on assessment in these first 6 weeks. Franki comes Oct. 23rd so we are excited for that. We also discussed conferencing in 4th grade and we have book clubs up and going in a couple 3rd grade classrooms and one 5 grade. I love supporting teachers in this work!]]> 2017-09-29 13:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192438004 Beacon Goals: molly_dickmann https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192439757 Improve reading achievement:
1. Teachers view spec ed and ell students as part of their whole
2. Lit team and ell teachers use running records to drive instruction (using program guide as pd)
3. Third grade work on testing as a genre
4. Grade 2: guided reading to move students forward while thinking about whole class lessons

I love the conversations that we have and how it lends itself to setting goals with teachers. This year, I am implementing monthly mini-data teams with grade levels 1-5. My initial conversations with teachers really helped me focus on where I can come in and work alongside teachers and really tailor my professional development for individual teams/teachers.]]> 2017-09-29 13:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192440077 Academics: create a community of professional learners built upon student data, instructional practice and current literature for literacy and learning...by being a Secret Gardener...Thx Sara! amy_smedley https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192440226 Interests: support new and transitional teachers with literacy framework, resources and planning
https://unify.performancematters.com/core/report/bbcard/bbcard.jsp?idp=hilliardschools.org&report=gAzWb2
Mindset: Be more impeccable with my word and infuse language of VBOs into daily interactions with staff, in an attempt to internalize and spread the lexicon]]> 2017-09-29 13:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192440226 Goals/ Progress... sara_firestone1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192440352 1: School wide literacy book talk 
2: writing workshop needs to be everyday in every classroom.  focus around writing and looking across grade levels (notice/wonders) How can we lift our students writing to be stronger in all content areas? 
3: getting in 4-5th literacy blocks
4: looking at our 1-2nd grade data and gradually release students using parts of the framework- specifically shared reading. 


Planning all day PLC time for each grade level, focused on literacy. 
Using data to drive next steps.
Scheduling time to get in rooms and model guided reading and setting up book clubs.  

Tonya and I presented to our ADDC staff about the framework and will continue this convo on specific parts more in depth later. 
Possible book talk ideas as options for teachers.

It ranges from how to create the workshop, the elements within the workshop and the framework and reading conferences. K-3 are using the Lucy Calkins Reading Units, so we are working to use them and blend them with our framework and what is best for kids.  

Mindset: I am really working hard to implement the VBO's into my coaching with both the teachers and the students.

Interests: I am really trying work with my teachers to give some of the ownership to students so that they can pursue their interests during reading workshop. I am also working with my principal on personalized PD opportunities. We did an ignite session at our staff meeting that was a huge success. Hoping to do a canvas course sometime this year.
   ]]> 2017-09-29 13:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192440771 My first goal is to create relationships and get into classrooms. Then I'd like to get thoughts shifting from direct instruction to blended/voice/choice. nicole_rees https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192442010 2017-09-29 13:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192442010 2017.2018 Lit Goals higginbothamca https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192442240 My main coaching goal is reading workshop. I would like to help teachers see the power of each component and be able to specifically talk and the strengths and needs of each student in specific ways. I plan to work on getting into each grade level along with the support of media and tech to focus in on how reading workshop can blend well with our blended learning look fors.]]> 2017-09-29 13:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192442240 Julie @ Scioto Darby molly_dickmann https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192443919 My coaching goals are: Support teachers in integrating technology into literacy workshops.

Goal 3: participate in deeper coaching cycles with teachers.]]> 2017-09-29 13:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192443919 My coaching goals... andrea_waselko1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192446904 1.  Supporting the grade level changes- 1st grade and 3rd grade.  
2. A new goal....helping teacher define the elements of the literacy framework what it means/looks like in their classroom.]]> 2017-09-29 13:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192446904 Reading Goals tonya_buelow https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/192446972 After my principal and I looked at our data we knew that a school wide focus needed to be on reading and supporting readers using the new framework. 

Teachers will think about students' needs and plan using a common thread across the framework. 

K/1 focus on shared reading and interactive writing within the framework.  

4/5 understand the power of reading workshop and the value of having it on a daily basis. This workshop will support and grow lifelong readers.

Teachers will consistently use various assessments to triangulate data and decide teaching points using the literacy continuum.

]]> 2017-12-13 10:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/215730018 Goals kimberly_dixon https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/216485746 At the beginning of the year my goal was to support new teachers in our building and work with 5th and their Reading Workshop. Currently new teachers are doing well and 5th is now looking at tackling word study. My present goal is to discuss as a staff the calkins writing progression and rubric to gain a common language and application. I hope to stress using them in data teams to dive instruction. Lastly, it is a need in my building to continuously discuss F&Ps and analyzing data. This conversation also includes not "pushing them up the "letter ladder" for the sake of a letter. ]]> 2017-12-15 14:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/216485746 Goals 2018/2019 sara_firestone1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290297077 Academic: Empower teachers to know what data to look at, how to analyze that data, and plan purposeful next steps across the framework. 

Interests :  I am interested to learn more about word study and what that looks like K-5.   Want to think about it as a progression and explore different ways to differentiate. 

Mindset: What is my purpose, desire?  Visualize every morning/night for 10min to create a clear image of what I want.  

]]> 2018-10-08 13:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290297077 yearly goals 18-19 kelly_hoenie https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290298969 Mindset:  I really want to have a powerful literacy team for our building! I think I am reshaping my mindset about the possibilities of a literacy team, and then hopefully it will help shape other mindsets!

Academics:  I plan on expanding my word study knowledge and then trying it out in classrooms with the teacher!

Interest:  I am still working on getting a true reading workshop in my mind!  I love working alongside my teachers and creating this "image" and helping it come to life!

]]> 2018-10-08 13:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290298969 Goal 1 for 18/19 nicole_rees https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290300848 I want to “get to the bottom of things” for/with teachers. Help them see the big picture of why they want to do something and then make it manageable for them to get started and continue throughout the year.]]> 2018-10-08 13:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290300848 Coaching Goals 2018-2019 tasha_allen1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290302986 Academic: Supporting teachers in finding the foundations within the framework. Going back to what the framework entails with fidelity and reflecting together on our next steps. 

Mindset: Continue to develop culture and social emotional attributes throughout school year to foster lifelong learning and increase student achievement.

Interest: Growing in my training year with better ways to reach teachers, plan PD, apply supports, and evolve professionally. ]]> 2018-10-08 13:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290302986 2018-2019 Lit Coaching Goals jodie_bailey https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290303567 My goal this year is to focus on empowering our students and teachers to be present in their thinking about reading and writing.
  -- Mindset: Focus on sense-making: When you read or write something, does it make sense? How might you provide more clarity in your writing?
  -- Academics: Work alongside teachers to learn what our students know and consider pieces of the framework where we could know more about our students.  (Are there things we overlook? How might we start to notice these things?) Consider more opportunities with Assessment for Learning and thinking about where we go next with that information.
 --Interests: What do students notice and/or wonder about the world? Use these interests to engage students in literacy and finding their voice to share their ideas!]]> 2018-10-08 13:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290303567 Coaching Goals for 2018-2019 claudette_mullins1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290303794 Plan opportunities to use observations and data to grow capacity in reading and writing across the literacy framework.

I would like to learn more about kindergarten and first grade learners.

have a lot of struggling students. I’m going to switch my focus from modeling to observing them.  Although I know that makes them feel uncomfortable..so I’ll be working on that too.  


]]> 2018-10-08 14:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290305138 Goal 2 18/19 nicole_rees https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290305463 I want to tighten up our Team Day meetings to make sure instructional changes are happening based on the data we look at and then follow up on how it’s going.]]> 2018-10-08 14:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290305463 Goals 2018-2019 nicolette_landon https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290306268 My #1 goal this year is to build relationships with a new staff.  We have to have a relationship, to begin to build conversations around instruction.  
At the beginning of the year, I wanted feedback from the staff about which parts of the framework they would like to explore deeper.  The feedback was they wanted to explore Writing deeper.  This conversation has shifted to Reading Workshop, which is our building goal.  Funny how things just fall into place:)
At this time, I want to go with what the staff feels they need support with right now.  We are currently working on the setting up a workshop model in reading in grades 4, 5 and one first grade classroom. Based on teacher feedback, they would like to think about small group reading instruction. I plan to have a focus and cycle coach to help support a shift in instruction. ]]> 2018-10-08 14:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290306268 18-19 Goals amy_smedley https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290306275 Academics:  Empower teachers to select appropriate data to analyze, identify strengths and weaknesses in student work, and plan purposeful instruction using district resources that will improve student performance.

Interests:  Master the district frameworks/resources for instruction, and lead others to go there first when thinking about planning.

Mindset:  Create a willingness to recognize personal and professional desires, and give myself permission to visualize them as realities.]]> 2018-10-08 14:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290306275 Coaching Goals 2018/2019 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290307768 Building Relationships with my new staff and students is my number 1 focus this year. 

Working as a team with my Tech teacher is another goal I have so that we can work together to improve blended learning througout k-5.

My third goal is to refine the literacy team so that we can work more closely with our most at risk reading students and make decisions as a team that would benefit the students the most.]]> 2018-10-08 14:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290307768 Coaching Goals 2018-2019 dana_humm https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290308318 Academic: I want to support teachers at looking at their data, determining what gaps students have and what they need, and diving deep about where on the framework we can support them.  I’m thinking that will lead to PD about the pieces of the framework and how we can use them to support kids.

Personal: I want to build relationships with the teachers in my building and get to know them as teachers and people.]]> 2018-10-08 14:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290308318 Literacy Goals 2018/2019 buelowto https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290309194 For teachers to use data and observations to plan next steps for their readers across the framework.  Also for teachers to reflect on the lesson and language and possible tweaks for their next lesson. 

Also think about classroom libraries in intermediate and building a passion for reading. Helping students understand what is important to share about their reading and how to connect that thinking with others. ]]> 2018-10-08 14:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290309194 Coaching Goals 2018-2019 jennifer_bickle https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290309628 My main goal is to become more familiar with the framework and continue to build collaborative relationships with teachers. My focus will be first grade and looking at evidence to make instructional decisions. ]]> 2018-10-08 14:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290309628 2018-2019 RGW molly_dickmann1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290310088 Improve Reading Achievement

Another goal is to think about classroom libraries in intermediate classrooms and how strong libraries help foster a passion for reading. Supporting teachers so they can help students understand what is important to share about their reading and how to connect that thinking with others.  Also, encourage teachers to have students reflect on their learning and create goals. ]]> 2018-10-09 17:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/290909122 2018-2019 catmere https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/307762996 Mindset:  Building Agentic Learning Communities.  Connect our elementary community of literacy leaders.  
  • Power of team:  utilizing the strengths of others to collaboratively improve literacy across the district.  
  • Stand up and own it:  clarifying our next steps forward and creating common conversations.  
  • Passion for growth:  growing common conversations that push us all forward
Academics:  Word Study Across the Framework.  Finding the wonder of words.  
Interest:  Voice and Choice in Literacy.  How much voice and choice do students have in their reading and writing?  
]]> 2018-11-26 13:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/307762996 Back to the Basics nicole_rees https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/324910305 I’m having some success with getting our Hilliard resources some spotlight time. Teachers are hungry to know what to do/use and the continuum and phonics books are beginning to get used as the primary resource. Some teachers even bring it with them when we plan. I am going to keep at this goal for awhile. ]]> 2019-01-28 13:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/324910305 Coaching Goals Feb. 2019 tasha_allen1 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/324913882 Academic: Spreading ideas and resources during data teams and just in quick conversations. Going back to the framework especially with teams that have new teachers. Consistently asking the "Where do we go next and how can I support you?" questions, helps to keep the framework and our next steps at the epicenter of our conversations.  Mindset: Using R-factor in the classroom consistently, working with the R-factor team, and helping teacher to think through additional supports some students might need in regards to their mindset to help their academic growth too.  Interest: Learning the how to's of data teams and conversation. Have conversations and learning from Jacki, Amanda, and Lisa. When we have a common message and language, we can be on the same page with teachers. AND Embedding coding into the classroom, students really enjoy these experiences. ]]> 2019-01-28 14:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/324913882 https://padlet.com/catmere/literacygoals/wish/324914513 Interests goal is coming along. I just keep putting frameworks back in front of teachers in every meeting we have. I listen to their questions/concerns, then think about where to begin in the frameworks. Trying to model a pattern.  

Still chipping away at the Academics goal. Data teams again at the end of February, but soooo much to discuss. Baby steps!
