Good morning all,
For the secondary collaboration time today, please meet in departments and continue working forward on the goals you set earlier this year. If those goals are complete, consider the following action points:
Language Agreements – what language expectations can you make in your departments and grade levels to support students working in English and engaging in productive stuggle?
Language scaffolds – look ahead to the upcoming units and consider the language demands of them. What vocabulary will the students need? What type of writing, reading or speaking wiill they need to do? Where can you plan mini-lessons or scaffolds to target those language skills as you teach the content?
AI proof assessments – what assessments – formative or summative – can you update so that you have an authentic and accurate picture of what the students know and can do without the help of apps or their friends?
Accessible assessments – knowing that students are coming with a wide range of language abilities, what scaffolds can you add to ensure the widest possible access of the questions?
Data and Interventions – look at your assessment data/map data for students and devise small group or individual interventions to address student needs and/or update upcoming lessons/units to address those needs.
Thank you!
