It's great to see discipline numbers down from last month and compared to last year at this time. There are so many students being tardy to class, I like to see the number, thank you Ms. Mize- I wonder how we can get students to feel more urgent about getting to class on time?

Glad to see that in all grades the percentage of Proficient and Advanced on the SRI is going up since SRI #1.

I like being able to visualize the number of tardies as well- thank you for doing that Ms. Mize.

That is GREAT Lexile data! Thank you, Ms. Mize, for the tardy information. This year's discipline looks better than the years past. :-)

I love to see that SRI scores have gone up from the beginning of the year! I personally have seen growth in most of my classes. I can't wait to see how my newcomers have improved as well.

It is nice to see a number with the amount of tardies from the month of Jan. I am interested to see how the numbers change over the months to come. I hope that they decrease and students start to understand the value of being to school on time.

I have had great success with the reciprocal teaching. The kids like it so much better than PALS.

The challenge, it seems, with the lexile levels is to push forward the Below Basic and Basic students. It would be good to see those two categories much smaller.

I agree about pushing those below and basic students forward. Those students progressing will really impact our CCRPI with their growth. I also think we have to continue to challenge those advanced learners. Differentiation and individualization!

It is absolutely one of the hardest things to do sometimes! However, our students should be more exhausted at the end of the day than the teachers!

Interesting that the 9th graders have the greatest % in the advanced lexile category. Wonder why this is?

This group of 9th graders has some really sharp students in it. They are hard workers and started asking about Dual Enrollment early this year. We will see an increase in the number of 10th graders who are in college courses next year.

I only had one opportunity to implement reciprocal teaching in my classes before testing began. It went well, but there were some kinks that could be worked out. Looking forward to hearing any good "tweaks" people may have discovered.

Great SRI scores, not so great on student tardies and teacher absences. I think the absences are going to be even higher for February, by the looks of it!

I am so glad to see the SRI scores are improved across all grade levels. So, you guys will now send back the hall pass when a student checks out? Is it okay to send a checkout note instead? If so, I will makeup one that I can just write their name and time on and let the front office throw it away.
Reply
2/7/2018 01:46:55 pm
I was thinking the same thing about the pass for check outs. Would it be possible for us to implement some kind of disposable pass for students checking out? Also, what do we do when 2 or 3 students want to check out books on Wednesdays during literacy intervention? Would a paper pass be OK then?

You can send multiple students with one pass if they are going to the same location.

Brittney Adams said, "I wonder how we can get students to feel more urgent about getting to class on time?" Coming from the career focused area, I know that this is a concern for employers, as it sets up a trend for life. We truly need to come up with a plan that conveys the necessity of timeliness in school and in the workplace.

I have written more tardies lately and it doesn't seem to bother the students. Perhaps an after school detention program is a possibility. It is done at other schools.

We are open for suggestions on the tardies. We have, however, tried the after school detention in the past. Students who ride the bus do not have transportation, and that becomes an even bigger battle to fight. That is actually the reason we moved to the lunch detention. I think the main thing we can all do is be more proactive in moving students through the halls.

Thanks for the increased rigor tips. I really like the error analysis after the assessment tip. I don't think we do enough of that. We grade the test, give it back, and go on. I think the students would gain a lot from error analysis.

I've wonder about marking those students absent that have a non-instructional form. I always mark them absent, but sometimes it doesn't get changed in the computer. I guess I need to inform Holly in those instances.
Reply
Gina Linder
2/8/2018 04:06:44 pm
Yes--let Holly know. She takes the list of students who are supposed to be on the trip from the non-instructional form and then takes the list of the students who did not show-up for the trip and enters them in as either on the field trip or absent. She sometimes gets interrupted while she is keying things in, so I know she would appreciate the follow-up if you notice something isn't correct.

I was glad to see that some of our students are leaving the basic lexile level and entering the proficient and advanced levels. It looks like our literacy strategies are helping!

I am so proud of our lexile growth. We have already beaten the % of proficient and advanced lexiles that we ended with in 2017 in all grade levels. It's only the middle of the year. I cannot wait to see our end of year results.

I agree with you Josh. It is good to see the growth and improvement; however, hopefully, we can get students to start achieving higher scores rather than just scoring at the minimal level.

Making students fill out their own tardy slip before they enter class keeps students aware of on time responsibilities in the shops. Also, I agree with letting students struggle with a task or problem before the answer is given. This, I believe builds character.

I, like many others here apparently, was unaware that event the office-called dismissal students were required to have a pass. Easy fix for that, though.
