Focus- SMART Goal in Reading

We began our year with our essential question:
How do we prepare our students to be informed, caring contributors to the world?
RIGOR, RELEVANCE, and RELATIONSHIPS is our lens we will look through all year.

This is our focus specifically looking in the area of READING which is our SMART Goal. By 2016-17- 90% of our students K-5 will demonstrate proficiency in reading using multiple measures.

On Tuesday we will look at our SMART Goal and discuss high impact actions we can take that will make difference in students learning.  At the WASCD conference, Tony Frontier, author of the 5 Levers of Change said, "Transformational change needs to impact students directly." Students need to be able to articulate how our actions impact them directly.  
___________ makes me a better reader by ___________.  
John Hattie's did research and identified high impact strategies:  

Prior to the meeting please review the draft of our plan on the Leadership/ SMART Goal Tab on the blog and think about...
How are we supporting RIGOR in reading?
How are we making RELEVANCE for students?
How are we building trusting RELATIONSHIPS with our students to support them in their learning?

Check out the 3 big actions for each trimester:

1st Trimester Refine Guided Reading

How will this impact a student directly?

2nd Trimester- Using data for growth for all students

How will this impact a student directly?

3rd Trimester- Goal Setting and collecting evidence that students have reached their reading goals.

How will this impact a student directly?

Add comments about ideas on how we can improve this plan to meet our student's needs and specific ideas for professional learning at either staff meetings or day 6 PLC meetings.   We will discuss this on Tuesday!

K-2- will meet in Mrs. Brine's Classroom
3-5 & all special teachers will meet in the Media Center

****This may be the focus of your SLO and remember this plan can be a guide for building our SLO's on Oct. 24th.

I kept my focus on all the MN Vikings who were staying in my hotel at my conference and the focus paid off with a lot of photos but not such a good game.  Congratulations Packers!
