Virtual Leadership Team Meeting September 13 by Kassia Morris-Sutton https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id Small Wins, WSA and LSPI en-us 2018-09-11 11:02:41 UTC 2026-02-20 15:50:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Go NES!!! Our school has made amazing growth since Mrs. Sutton has been at NES. She is preparing us to soar higher. I wonder if we can integrate more of the SS and Science content into the informational reading and writing to make sure we are meeting all of the AKS. https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280308318 2018-09-12 12:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280308318 kassia_morris_sutton https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280313034 Where would you cite the HIGHEST priorities/needs for our students?]]> 2018-09-12 12:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280313034 allie_voigt https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280510834 I'm so excited about the amazing growth we've made over the past few years. It's SO exciting to see us make such gains as a school community. I was also very excited to hear that whatever we're doing has been working and that none of our supports put in place by Mrs. Sutton or the county will be pulled, even though we are doing better. I would LOVE to see more support in terms of reading. I know we have ESOL support from the county; however, I know that it is nearly impossible to teach the AKS in the uppre grades if the students are still learning the language. How can we support these students who are still developing their English language skills? What are specific techniques we can use with these students that will ensure success?]]> 2018-09-12 18:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280510834 tonjabarney https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280593484 Understanding Small group instruction. 

Learning how to analyze, interpret ,and use student data to move students.]]> 2018-09-12 22:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280593484 I am extremely excited to see just how much we have grown and know we will just keep getting better! amy_steinberg https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280603579 2018-09-12 23:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280603579 The growth we have made is superb! marquitashvrs https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280770252 I think that our highest priority at this point is to continue on this path of greatness with the same energy and consistency and incorporate as much specialized instruction to push our students to the next level.

]]> 2018-09-13 11:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280770252 Proud to join a team of such dedicated educators! Congratulations on the growth in achievement our students have made! https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280774896 I feel our greatest need still lies in the arena of reading and literacy. The majority of our population do not speak English as their first language. We should continue to provide top-notch support to our ELL population so they will succeed as both students and upcoming members of their community.
Step-by-step, we will make this mission possible!]]> 2018-09-13 12:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280774896 Extremely Proud of our Accomplishment! I https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280790255 I feel because of great leadership and the high expectations we will continue to soar beyond wonder. We have a mindset of teaching and learning every single day. Our in depth book studies, common mini lessons, assessments, anchor charts, mentor text and professional learning have moved us to focus on the AKS , students being taught and how to expand and grow our knowledge as professionals. We have support from our leaders, coaches, team members and parents. We work together collaboratively analyzing and digging deeper to ensure that we make our work rigorous and challenging for the students. I know we will make the top 20!! Soar on Eagles!]]> 2018-09-13 12:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280790255 Our robotics club spoke with Dr. Carrie Olsen, the Director of Payloads for the International Space Station for an hour last week. Our students asked fantastic questions and were so polite and well behaved! https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280925747 2018-09-13 16:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280925747 Our students need to develop great problem solving skills so that they can apply the information we teach in an effective manner. https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280928504 2018-09-13 16:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280928504 Thanks to all, our Title 1 Documents were submitted on time and our plans of actions were approved in less than 21/2 hours (never been faster). https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280949237
In looking at the data, we need to focus on reading for understanding/comprehension in Science and Social Studies to help gain points and not leave them on the board.]]> 2018-09-13 16:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/280949237 WHOO HOO!!! MrsTurner1122 https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281012016 So proud to be an EAGLE! We need to work on students academic conversations to allow them to learn about the content through student discussions. If they discuss they will open their horizons with the aim of becoming self directed learners. ]]> 2018-09-13 18:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281012016 I am VERY excited about our growth! It just proves that we are doing the right work. It also proves that every teacher her is working very hard to help our Eagles soar. Mrs. Sutton has made such a positive impact on not only us, but the students. Strong, passionate, caring leaders make all the difference and we have that!! https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281021645
Highest Need
There needs to be a focus on reading comprehension and students being able to respond to text.  This will carry over into every other subject and we will see our students rise even higher.  Social Studies and Science need to be integrated as much as possible.   I would love for us to have more resources/support in meeting students where they are and moving them.  Guided reading is where we  will get the bang for our buck so that could also be a great place to spend some time.]]> 2018-09-13 19:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281021645 https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281373218 Small Wins: How awesome that we have moved so far up the list of distinguished schools in such a short time! (BIG WIN!)

WSA and LSPI: I'm noticing that we'll need to help those 5th grade students with improving their Science/Social Studies scores. Maybe adding a rotation into Eagle Time especially since it can also include Literacy, which would help improve literacy scores as well. 

Highest priorities/needs for our students: Focusing on reading comprehension and maybe some training/ideas on differentiation for guided reading groups from coaches/county. County tests are given on grade level but a good bit of our students are not on grade level when it comes to reading. Having some guidance for those students that are not on grade level but are expected to test on grade level would be helpful.]]> 2018-09-14 15:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281373218 Small Win: Our school has made huge gains as evidenced with our BIG move in ranking. Since everything rises and falls on leadership, we must pause to salute our school leaders for being proactive, persistent, and passionate about action steps needed to improve our "needs improvement" label. You continually assessed and re-assessed our processes and made necessary adjustments where you saw fit. Thank you for always having your fingers on the pulse of what's going on in our school. CONGRATS!!! https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281887611 WSA and LSPI:  Although our students have made gains, there is still work to be done.  Science and Social Studies content areas need to be integrated.  We can look into finding leveled text on the topics each grade level studies and encourage teachers to use them during guided reading.  Additionally, looking at the BOY F and P levels for K-2, a significant amout of our students are entering below grade level across those grades.
Noticings:  only 3 students entering K are on a level A.  All others students are (PRE); 1st Grade:  roughly 39% are entering below level D and almost 60% of students entering 2nd are below level J.  What can we do?  Our school can use the resources we already have here in house.  Imagine Learning is a resource that can be used for all students.  In K-2 those students experienceing difficulties with literacy can use it.  The suggested amount of minutes is 100 per week to show significant growth.  Classworks is also a great tool.  It has an Individualized Learning Path and Integrated Reading for students.
Highest Priorities/Needs: Literacy...our instruction should include the BIG 5: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension.]]> 2018-09-16 09:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/281887611 I think first we are excited to see growth and progress as a whole school. https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/282060238 small wins: Our kinder students are showing growth with their letter knowledge and foundational math skills.

Highest need: Based on our data, we really need to focus on Social Studies and Science instruction. Maybe our EL team can help support our level 1 and 2 students access the specific vocabulary and terminology used in those subjects. ]]> 2018-09-17 00:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kassia_morris_sutton/qi1boa8uo4id/wish/282060238
