@rustinperez This is right along with my take a ways :) #hcpsread

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

I want to really focus on my effect size and my teams when we come together to analyze. I want to focus on taking our Ss from surface level to a deeper understanding then I to the transfer stage and really focus on them taking ownership on their own learning. #HCPSRead

@LinetteNiebel Assessment doesn’t mean anything if we don’t take action with the data we’re given!#HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

A5: it’s not only about the assessments we use it’s what we DO with that data that determines if our Ss will continue to grow or not. We need to know what works and what doesn’t and then take action and have our Ss do the same as well. They need to take ownership! #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

A4: miscue analysis tells us why our Ss make the reading errors they do and what strategies they are using as they read. This will help Ts determine how to help the S and in what area they need to focus on in their reading and what strategies to help them with #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

A3: successful retellings should not be seen as the ultimate measure of comprehension. They are being asked to retell based off memory and they are not synthesizing the information in the text and making connections. #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

@LiannaAlexande Yes! Time is key! And making time for the reflection part as well, something I feel is easily pushed aside. #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

@JenM7881 @Tracey2250 I completely agree. How can we make sure we are reaching every student successfully? #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

A2: collective teacher efficacy is only effective when we are taking plenty of time to sit and not only plan what we are going to teach and how but also analyzing the student work after and reflecting on our impact. We need to figure out what is and is not working #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

@jenniferackett I’m excited to give this a try as well. It will be quite eye opening to see our effect size! #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

A1: most important is making regular opportunities to meet as a team to see what one another is doing and the impact that is having on our students. Sitting and determining our impact and staying focused on the 4 questions on p. 170. #HCPSRead

Brittany Sawyer 2nd grade ELA at Bellamy Elementary! #HCPSRead

[Brittany Cornelius @b_sawyer1]

Ch 6 F/U: next year I really want to emphasize vocabulary so I liked the idea on p.140 abovet the scavenger hunts and using this as homework to help build vocabulary as well as the open and closed words sorts. I do this with phonics but love using with with vocab too. #HCPSRead
