Priority Area 2: Math
We need to utilize formative assessment practices to measure student learning
We need to implement supplemental programs with fidelity (DreamBox)
We need to customize small group instruction to meet student needs
Root Cause Utilizing formative assessment practices to measure student
learning
Priority Area 2: MathFactors and Root Cause
Key Actions Consistent use of DreamBox or other blended learning opportunities Using formative assessment practices to target students and
customize instruction based on needs Staff opportunities to collaborate and plan for small group instruction
Think about it…How can we use formative assessments within your classroom everyday?
How can we find time to ensure that students have access to DreamBox?
Priority Area 2: MathFactors and Root Cause
Professional Learning Plan Training on available resources to assist in closing the achievement gap
Training on utilizing formative assessment data throughout daily instruction
Provided opportunities to collaboratively plan for instruction
Think about….
Do you any of your professional goals align with these?

Priority Area 3: Climate
Collaboration 35.3% disagree that collaboration is effective

environment is positive
Priority Area 3: Climate

Empower staff to work together
Collaboration can affect the quality of teaching by enriching the work of teachers.
Increase productivity and eliminate achievement gaps for identified students
Impact student achievement
Priority Area 3: Climate
Why do we need to build a positive work culture? Fosters communication
Stronger professional networks to share information
More complex problem-solving and extensive sharing of craft knowledge
In collaborative schools, the natural give-and-take of professionals means that conflict, disagreement, and discord will sometimes occur. But, these situations can be worked out for the good of students. (Fullan and Hargreaves, 1991)
Priority Area 3: Climate
Clear, positive communication with a focus on kids, teaching, and learning builds confidence in you and your school
Principals are the main creators of a culture of communication in their schools. Good, two-way communication becomes the standard when principals serve as role models, provide resources and training, and hold staff members accountable for their communication efforts and results
Priority Area 3: Climate
Organizational Effectiveness How can we become more efficient as a team? Customize PD that is relevant to individual needs Collaborative planning/common planning times
Question for Reflection
