Common Core standards and student outcomes have been clearly identified within the plan. ]]> 2022-12-17 14:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423660130 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423663391 Google Translate has been especially helpful to our non-English speaking population. With this tool, we are training students to use the "conversation" feature to speak freely back and forth. We are also training our students to take pictures of ANY text we will be reading/viewing throughout the lesson and using the "listen" feature so they have access to all text in their native language. ]]> 2022-12-17 14:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423663391 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423665242 The SmartBoard is a tool that can be used in many ways. It can be used as a large computer with search engines, a projector, and a basic whiteboard. Our new literacy curriculum has a digital component that allows teachers to push out slide decks to students and control the pace from their device - displayed on the SmartBoard. ]]> 2022-12-17 14:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423665242 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423667202 1:1 iPads are used by students every day. Our students have had extensive instruction in digital citizenship and will continue to build upon those concepts. For this lesson, students will use their iPads to time a partner completing a repeated reading fluency intervention, to access Clever, and to follow along with the slide deck from Amplify CKLA. ]]> 2022-12-17 14:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423667202 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423667724 This plan is geared to the 4th-grade curriculum]]> 2022-12-17 14:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423667724 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423668323 With the new curriculum, there is a lot packed into the 90-minute literacy block. Planning is important to the success of the big picture. ]]> 2022-12-17 14:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423668323 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423680314 Our new literacy curriculum comes with a slide deck. This is a feature that is not being utilized well within the district. I can show you how simple it is for teachers and students to access and how helpful it is for students to focus having the slides directly in front of them as opposed to looking at the screen at the front of the room. ]]> 2022-12-17 15:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423680314 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423682915 Clever is an online "home" for everything you want your students to have access to. By using QR codes, your students can scan in and be redirected to any online place you want them to be. This saves time. I can offer tips and tricks to adding links within your Clever account and also helpful tips for upper elementary as they switch classes and need access to many things from multiple teachers. ]]> 2022-12-17 15:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423682915 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423687543 1. Adults have a higher sense of self-direction and motivation
2. Adults use their life experience to facilitate learning
3. Adults are focused on achieving goals
4. Adults need to know how the information is relevant
5. Adults are practical
6. Adults are looking for help and mentorship
7. Adults are open for modern ways of learning
8. Adults want to choose how they learn

As an instructional coach, I can help you understand these 8 principles and work around your schedule and learning preferences to learn and grow WITH you. It is important for the adult learning to happen before we begin working with students so we understand the WHY and can better explain and relate information for them. ]]> 2022-12-17 15:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423687543 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423691179 Help me help YOU! Digital citizenship is something that our students need reinforced over and over again. I can provide you information and resources from ISTE and Common Sense Media to help in this area. I would love to come in and model or work with Mrs. Shekleton and Ms. Klenke on creating something specific that you need for your students at a specific time. 
For this specific coaching plan, we have taken much of the guess work out of the student's hands as we use QR codes to get students directly where they need to go. I do have conversation bookmarks that work wonderfully for this grade level. These bookmarks encourage thinking and respectful disagreements in order to broaden students' thinking. ]]> 2022-12-17 16:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423691179 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423694760 This new curriculum is rigorous. As an instructional coach, I have made connections with schools that have been using Amplify CKLA for a number of years. School visits, Zoom meetings, watching recorded lessons, and simple communication back and forth with colleagues in the field who have done what you are about to do is invaluable. I also have several blogs and online groups which I would love to share. Finally, I am in constant communication with Kevin (our school's Amplify CKLA representative) who is open to answering questions or even making a site visit if needed. ]]> 2022-12-17 16:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423694760 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423700588 Equitable access to technology is ensuring that all students have access to tools and information regardless of any qualities they do or do not have. But access to technology is more than just putting a device in the hands of our students, it refers to students being able to learn from a teacher that understand that technology they are using.  
What are we doing & how can we help?
1. We have a school-wide technology plan in place with AUPs that must be signed by families.
2. We have teachers involved in the conversations regarding technology implementation. Our teacher leadership team is working in the trenches and providing feedback to admin. 
3. We have started a digital literacy & digital citizenship program. This instruction happens early and often and is build upon each year as to be age-appropriate for our learners.
4. We have government funds and grants at work to provide us additional resources. 

How Can I Help?
I would be happy to come in and model lessons, work closely with our library/media specialist and technology integrationist, and also create and analyze data through the use of forms sent to families about their digital access. ]]> 2022-12-17 16:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423700588 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423701607 2022-12-17 16:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423701607 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423701850 2022-12-17 16:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423701850 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702109 2022-12-17 16:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702109 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702382 2022-12-17 16:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702382 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702639 2022-12-17 16:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702639 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702737 2022-12-17 16:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423702737 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703290 2022-12-17 16:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703290 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703590 2022-12-17 16:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703590 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703893 2022-12-17 16:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423703893 kmahr1 https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423712226 Our coaching cycle consists of goal setting, learning, observation and data collection, and reflection.

1. Goal setting for this lesson will happen at least one week before the lesson takes place. Here we will work together to set goals for the lesson. These should be specific, focusing on small things. 

2. Immediately after setting goals, we will learn together. I will help facilitate learning experiences and gather information for us to review in order to achieve your goals for this lesson. 

3. You will deliver the lesson. I will be there to assist as a co-teacher if wanted. I will also record the lesson for us to review afterward. Together, we will analyze the lesson and any gather data.

4. Finally, as soon as possible after the lesson delivery, we will reflect by sharing thoughts, watching the recording, identifying grows and glows and (if you want) setting new goals for student success for future lessons. ]]> 2022-12-17 17:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahr1/coaching/wish/2423712226
