Notes
Participants will collaboratively plan standards/benchmarks-based instruction using the Structured Teaching Gradual Release model. These sessions will focus on ELA in grades K-5 and are conducted on Thursdays during each grade levels specials time throughout the school year. Teachers will utilize the district provided lesson plans as the starting point for creating lessons that meet the depth of the benchmarks while differentiating based on the needs of the individual learner. The lessons will be adapted based on data driven decision making using benchmark assessments, FAST progress monitoring results, and LP formative assessments. Participants will meet with the CAS, AP and/or Principal every Thursday during specials throughout the 25-26 school year.
