PLT WED. 10/14/09 AGENDA AND SUMMARY

Agenda: Grade Levels worked on Individual Student Goal Sheets

Summary: We reviewed the intervention pyramid and discussed how will we know when students are responding to CORE instruction. We will use progress monitoring using all of the data we collect from Universal Screenings, Digging Deeper Assessments, Common Assessments, Blue Diamond Assessments, Quarterly Assessments, and observations. We will also track how our strategic interventions are working. We will compare these results throughout the length of the goal. If the interventions aren’t working we will adjust our instruction. Teachers developed individual goal sheets for students based on the above information.

PLT WEDNESDAY OCT. 7, 2009

AGENDA AND SUMMARY

The purpose of today’s PLT is to better understand how our Universal Screening and Digging Deeper Assessments drive instruction

Our desired outcomes of today’s meeting are:

è Understand the process for meeting the needs of all students in reading using data

è Become familiar with the resource K-5 Reading: Moving From Assessment to Instruction notebook

è Plan appropriate instruction for all students

Summary:

The PLT teams analyzed student data to determine specific instructional needs. We determined that word work in K-2 and 3-5 literacy was a needed focus especially vowel sounds. The next step was to indentify researched based reading interventions that can be used to teach this reading focus. Since we were seeing so many 3^rd, 4^th, & 5^th grade students struggle with vowel sounds, we realized the need to emphasize this objective more thoroughly in K-2 grades. Each grade level PLT came up with a plan to utilize other instructional support personnel, within their classrooms, to identify and work with students needing interventions.
