Dec. 11 Late Start


Dec. 11 Late Start- at Hudson Prairie

Classroom Teachers, SLD, Reading Teachers, EBD, CID, SLPs, GT teachers, and ELL teachers,
In response to teacher requests following the recent professional development, the goal for next week’s Late Start professional development is to reflect upon formative assessments and to plan for small group instruction. You will have the entire 2½ hours to work with your grade level teams to complete the protocol. 

The majority of the time should be used for your planning, individually and/or collaboratively. Your principal and coach will be available for your support.

In preparation, please bring copies for your team of a formative assessment tool your utilized with your students.(Running Records, Comprehension Interview, Fluency Rubrics, etc.

Special education teachers and SLPs, please plan on attending one or two grade level meetings at your assigned building(s), of which you have a current student participating in the core classroom curriculum for reading that you provide support to, specifically in the area of Reading.  ​Please take part in the discussions with the grade level team regarding the use of formative assessments to analyze progress and plan for future instruction. After meeting with your teams, please take some time to reflect and provide feedback to Terri Gulbransen and Amy Wise regarding the usefulness of the professional development opportunity, any thoughts for future opportunities to collaborate with grade level teams that could be beneficial to both special education and regular education initiatives. This information will be used to assist in developing plans about future PD opportunities.  Finally, plan on also providing feedback to each other at your next facilitator meeting. Please discuss the larger district initiatives, how assessments used in the regular education setting can be applicable to special education students, gifted and ELL students, and how we, as a district, can support and assist in creating a larger connection between the two environments.
