Specifically, we must ensure this year that our students English language arts Comprehend (access) meaningful, on level texts Speak and write in response to meaningful texts Math students Master math concepts of priority, on level content and practice standards (not just procedures) Master targeted remedial content that allows practice faster focus of on level content Louisiana Believes 3
Teacher Leader Summit: Day 1 Ready! This Summit will prepare teachers to make these shifts beginning the first day of the 14-15 school year. This will include focused training on: Student Learning Targets Assessment Standards, curricula, and instructional strategies Louisiana Believes 4
Unit Focus (The Big Idea) Unit Text Sets Daily Tasks Assessment Culminating Writing Task Cold Read Assessments Understanding the Text Expressing the Text Anchor Literary Informational Non-print Texts Extension Tasks Reading the Text ELA Guidebook Overview

Many ideas for remediation have been presented today. How will you use the Math guidebooks to help with remediation? How will this fit with your curriculum for 2014-2015? How will ELA remediation fit with the guidebooks or your curriculum for 2014-2015? Remediation Overview

What are some specific thing that teachers should be aware of with our testing schedule for next year? Testing Schedule
Think of everything that you have learned at the summit. Take a few minutes and list all of these on the graphic organizer provided. Brainstorm
Teacher says Stand up, hand up, pair up! Students: stand up with one hand in air until you find the closest partner who is not your teammate. Teacher asks a question or gives an assignment. Teacher provides think time . Stand Up, Hand Up, Pair Up
Discuss with your partner what are 3 things that you would like to bring back to your site first? Your Big 3
Your big three should be numbered 1. You should prioritize the rest of this list with an even number of 2 and 3. Prioritize Graphic Organizer
These meetings are done once a week during teacher s planning time. These meetings are mostly used as Professional Development. Grade Level Meetings
We have one hour PLC meetings once a week. We do not conduct PD in these meetings but many times the information presented here helps teachers in planning and understanding their data. Personal Learning Communities
We have worked to transform our faculty meetings this year to PD meetings. Most of the other stuff can be sent in an email so this is a great time to meet with the entire staff. Faculty Meetings
These are great days that your entire staff can meet or even collaborate with another school. In-Service Days
You can use Blackboard, Edmodo, or even email. You can easily create a video or PowerPoint for staff to receive new information. Technology
Teacher announces the topic. Teacher gives you think time . In pairs, Partner A writes an answer to the topic then passes paper and pencil to Partner B. Partner B writes and answer and passes it back to Partner A. Steps 3 & 4 continue until the teacher calls time . Pairs compare their list with other team pair. Rally Table
What are some ways that you can redeliver at your site? Topic
Is there a new way that you could create at your site? What could that look like? Rally Table
When will you redeliver all of the information that you have learned? Your number ones should be delivered in the first four weeks of school. Numbers 2 and 3 should be delivered throughout the year. Gantt Chart
When will you deliver your information? Does the timeline make sense and is it doable. Round Robin Discussion
