October is when data meetings start to matter most. By now, we’ve taught, assessed, and gathered enough information to really see where our students are.
But data alone doesn’t change anything.
It’s not about numbers — it’s about needs.
And those needs won’t be met unless our instruction shifts as a result of what we see.
Let’s make sure our data conversations don’t stop at who’s behind.
Let’s talk about what we’re going to do — and do it.
They’re conversations about teaching, not just testing.
About action, not just analysis.
Because the data doesn’t move until we do.
It’s not critical. It’s reflective.
This is good teaching.

I love seeing my students dive deeper with their texts. During SOAR, 5th graders wrote a mini paragraph using vocabulary words to show their connection to the character in the text. @GullattES1 #SOARingIsOurSUPERpower 📝
Gullatt Eagles are Soaring high! We are PBIS Distinguished AGAIN! Thank you to all of the staff and students for meeting the @GullattES Expectations! A special thanks to all of our stakeholders! 🦅🏆
@GullattES1 families are 🔥 most importantly, THE GRANDS, NANAs, & PAPAs as we celebrate Grandparents Day a little early. DONT forget our Grandparents on Sunday 🫶🏾
It was enjoyable to see our 5th grade teacher, Ms. King, bring reading to life. She dressed as a character in the story to capture her students’ imagination and make a connection with the text. #TakingReadingBeyondTheText#SOARingIsOurSUPERpower
The entire school or district is the PLC—a culture of collaboration focused on student learning.
When teams meet to do the work, they’re functioning as PLTs (Professional Learning Teams).
PLC=system-wide mindset PLT = team-level action
