TEAMS MAY VARY IN YOUR BUILDING

Different school structures such as scheduling and established teams

Different personnel available Scheduling of meetings should be efficient

and based on established agendas, but time/length of meetings may vary

We all need to get to the same destination, but the route may be different.

BUILDING LEVEL TEAMS:

Support grade level teams Help organize and sort data for alike or grade

level teams Help set building level data goals Oversee the movement of children between

tiers Set building procedures for looking at and

using data

GRADE LEVEL OR TEACHER ALIKE DATA TEAMING

Teams of like teachers working together to…

Access critical data on all students’ performance related to achievement of standards

Analyze data and find which students have which gaps in attainments

Set measurable goals to close the gap Identify and implement research-based

instructional strategies

TEACHERS WORKING TOGETHER

Like teachers = grade level or department level

Use of collaborative skills (e.g., problem solving process, identify research-based strategies.)

Need a structure (time, place, etc.)
