LITERACY IS THE FOUNDATION FOR LEARNINGWe are using ELA data to learn about the process of

forming/implementing data teams.

First, we looked at trend data to practice writing conclusion statements and ask questions. Why?

Today:We will examine the ELA gap analysis at each grade level.

Where are the gaps?

If we closed any of these gaps, which one would most benefit my class?

Each grade level will choose one literacy goal.

What strategies can we use to address this gap? (brainstorm ideas for data team)

DATA TEAM MEETING OCTOBER 27

Look at the goal identified at each grade level.

Narrow the focus and choose specific teaching strategies to implement.

Prepare strategies for the next grade level meeting on 11/17.

Next Steps:

11/17: Staff development on the specific teaching strategies, discussion about how to implement the strategies in classrooms

11/17-12/8: Teachers implement strategies in the classrooms

12/8: grade level meetings to share student work, review, revise, repeat
