AGENDA
Instructional Leader’s Life‐Line With the first year of implementation under our belts, many districts will begin planning for the 2015‐2016 school year. Come spend a day discovering how the lead4ward resources (STAAR Snapshots, TEKS Tree, IQ Process: Realigned STAAR items, TEKS Scaffolding Document, Teacher Field Guides, Data Heat Maps and the PLC Menu) can support your leadership role in transforming our mathematics classrooms. Some of the daily activities will include: What’s in a Name? Revisiting District Scope and Sequence: Revisiting the pacing and timing of the curriculum is just one layer to preparing for next school year. Our activities will extend to using the lead4ward resources to revisit the titles of your units to better communicate the verticality of the curriculum and more intentional planning for the spiraling of low performing concepts. Kicking Assessment Issues Around Rethinking District Benchmarks/Unit Tests: Creating new assessments each year with a limited number of assessment items to choose from is always a battle. Use the lead4ward tools to support your efforts and designing and vetting common/spiraled/interwoven unit assessments. Finding Focus for Intervention Plans: We have identified our low SEs and those students needing instructional intervention, but which are Tier 1 INSTRUCTION issues and which are Tier 1 INTERVENTION issues? Let's discover a process to devising a scope and sequence for such remediation that will fill the holes and gaps in students' learning at the time that it is needed. Show Me Another Way to Teach for Transfer: Planning Instruction: Teaching for transfer is the goal for our instructional practices. Come investigate how to use a menu approach to vary stimuli, thinking and evidence to achieve novelty in the classroom. Dual Coding is SO 2012: Examining the Process Standards: How do we sift and sort through multiple coding as a tool for PLANNING instruction? With the “how” becoming more important than the “what”, intentional planning for the process standards must be reemphasized. Come explore a process to support students in becoming more reflective thinkers and engaging in metacognition.
