Circle- It's helpful to look at the strands we have taught so far this year, especially in math. We haven't taught measurement & data or geometry yet and those were the lowest growth.

Reading- How do we support students with foundational skills that are multiple grade levels below? Especially the phonics.

Where can we build in more time with text?

How does SEL impact learning? Skills like focus, independent work skills, stamina.

Squares- We have seen a lot of overall growth this year!

Phonics- confirms our thinking when we are teaching and we see it in the data.

Pointy- Foundational skills (phonics)

Reading- Lowest growth with students 3 or more grade levels behind

Circling: Supporting more 2-grade below learners for Math; supporting more overall comprehension in Reading

Squares: we are able to reach a wide range of learners and continue to support their math learning;

Pointy: still exploring where to help students know themselves as readers (as us as teachers to know and support them)

Circling-- what standards strands show the most challenge to students

Squares: the data confirms growth that we see from the students

Pointy-we wish there was spring testing to show another data point. A lot changes from winter to fall. We've got this data, what are we going to do next for the kids who show up as 'red'? What sort of math support can we provide to them in addition to classroom instruction?

Circle - It was nice to see the growth in the areas we taught after the first round of testing. It will be nice to see their continued growth in later grades.

Square - Our kids are getting what we're teaching and it shows through the data

Pointy - How can we get more intervention for math for the kids who are struggling to see growth

Circling--Math--are we giving equal amounts of time for reading and math within our day. How is testing mid-year affecting our math scores due to not reaching geometry units? How can we build in time to reteach skills?

Reading--How do we find time to review or teach skills outside of grade level content? Fluency is a challenge, how do we build and encourage stamina and confidence?

Square: Math--kids that get it are growing--talking and discussing is a good way to continue to help them grow. We need to make sure that we are intentionally adding geometry, money, time into the whole year. Reading--Fluency is a struggle for our kiddos, but the phonics/pa is super strong.

Pointy: Math--not having an interventionist. Reading--not having stamina for reading, and going back into the text because there isn't enough independent reading opportunities within CKLA

Circle--Does our IM curriculum match with iReady pacing?

Pointy--How to meet students' targeted needs vs. what the curriculum is universally covering. We wish there was end-of-year testing to see a true growth for the year.

Square--We were proud of our growth being over 100%!
