Grade Level Meetings to define Data Notebooks

Please upload common pages, data collection charts ect..  

Also upload your schedule for when these will be sent home.  

Each Grade Level has a folder within the folder labeled Data Notebooks.  You can find this in the Teacher Resources Drive

Please make sure each of these areas are covered: (you may add others!)

1. AR (are you tracking points, words read? do you have short and long term goals? how often are test records printed and added to the notebook?)

2. AIMSWeb Math and Reading

3. SuccessMaker Math (required) Reading (optional)

4. Personal Student goals that may or may not be academic

4. Math Facts (track what is applicable for your grade)

5. RAZ kids for Kinder (can be used for selected kiddos in other grades)

6. Sight Words for K and 1 

7. Signature page for parents to sign

Other things to note.......

AIMSWeb results should be printed and placed behind a tab in the back of the NB

ALL students should be able to "talk through" their data NB with their parents. 

PST is scheduled for January 12 and 13.  Please make sure your plans have been updated and any new referrals have been made.

Information from Mrs. Rosetta

Item Banks are in Schoology for practice à Group Code: HPGZ-SP5H-C7JV3

• I changed the code, and created a Group just for TCS and pulled in the resources.
• The teachers can join the group using this code and then copy the materials to their classes.
• Please share – this is a fantastic resource for our teachers

Item Specs, Instructional Supports, Blueprints and TDW are on the state website https://www.alabamaachieves.org/assessment/acap/

• I’m going to place these in Schoology too
• This includes the updated ones for ELA

2^nd and 3^rd WILL be taking the TDW this year – OTT will be updated in November (tentatively November 21) to reflect this

• This is a field test year
