With the implementation of the Flexible Reading Groups and DIBELS has helped with the data to target individual students and even specific objectives.
With the support of our Inst. Coach she has helped with helping identify students with our low objectives by individual classroom teacher by disaggregating the data of our OCCT. She has also shown each grade level their three lowest target areas with the students they have at this time. This is also true in 5th & 6th grades.
We have also put into our Title II monies this year, observations of teachers within our own site to help implement strategies. Unfortunately not all of our teachers were able to attend the conferences, so this is a way for a teacher to observe a teacher teaching these strategies and then both teachers going into that other teachers classroom and applying it with those students. We have already put this into use with Singapore Math Strategies.
