It is complicated for us - it will be tough for us to bridge that gap with our staff https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465011340 2023-02-01 18:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465011340 SPED? https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465012088 All kids, regardless of classification, are expected to grow the same amount. ]]> 2023-02-01 18:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465012088 Obviously Special Education students are a targeted group at my Middle School for our resource kids. Now, our Alt kids who are non-verbal, cannot read, etc are being counted. https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465014964 2023-02-01 18:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465014964 Will this model cause excellent teachers that are focused on high ratings to quit or resign? https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465016341 2023-02-01 18:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465016341 https://padlet.com/pspadaro/psg9lwf3bmlfkl3/wish/2465034626 So as this growth model is introduced how do we educate the community?

Are schools expected to teach differently

There how long will we stick with this?

We also see a tremendous need for more PD with tier 1 instruction for teachers

?? Legislation has changed and changed and change the truth.

Should every school not have a MTSS interventionist?

How do we get parents in our building that are working two and three jobs or those parents that have no transportation to meet with a teacher?

So often students need one on one intervention, whether it be social emotional or learning. How do we meet those needs?
