Targeted, Coordinated, Embedded Professional Development 260 teachers K-10 received focused grade- level/ content professional development within their work day K-6 special education mathematics training throughout the year 250 staff were able to work with Mike Mattos over a two day period on Response to Intervention implementation Instructional Leadership Team

Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment A transition to job-embedded, on-going professional development Focus on improving Tier 1 Core Instruction Whatever It Takes to Ensure ALL Students/Teachers Learn- PLCs have changed the focus from teaching to learning Four Key Questions: 1. What do we want our students to learn? Learning targets Priority Standards Increase Instructional Strategies Increase content knowledge 2. How will we know if they have learned it? Common Assessments: focus on Formative Analysis of Data 3. What will we do if they do not learn? Intervention (the new Extended Learning) 4. What will we do if they already know it? Enrichment Priority Standards Increased Horizontal Alignment of What Matters Most Instructional Materials including gaps and overlaps Accordion Model
