9. Critical concepts for making AYP

10. Obstacles to AYP Class Schedule Implementation New Goals / Projects Unclear roles Lack of Follow Through Reading Program Slack Tier 1,2,3 Teacher / Instructors Gist Make AYP Non-Participation Plan for School Improvement

11. So what? Our Goals will be … • Fidelity of the Reading Block • Classroom Observation/Walk-Through • Feedback for teachers • Tier Model • Assessment • Direct Instruction

12. What do you mean by fidelity? • The way the program is set; exactness • Strict observance of duties; adherence • Use reading curriculum materials • No omission • Not a “Frank Sanatra approach” “I’ll do it my way!”

13. Observations / Walk-Throughs • Physical Set Up and Materials • Management Skills • Presentation Skills FIDELITY!

14. III. Feedback for teachers • Immediate • Star symbol = Glowing, exquisite, breathtaking, Keep it up! T’11’77yis7 nizh0n7, sxih! • Check mark = improve this area, tweek-it a little, hozh0’0 1n1n7dl44h, n1n7k’22s • Any questions concerning your feedback or ideas, conference with Reading Coach or Principal FIDELITY!

15. IV. Tier Model “Ideally” Tier 1 120 min. Tier 2 120 + 30 min. Tier 3 120 + 60 + 30 min. FIDELITY! *For CORE Reading Instruction / Reading Intervention

16. The Real World, it’s… Tier 1 60 + 60 min. Tier 2 60 + 60 min. Tier 3 60 + 45 + 15 min. But still with FIDELITY!

17. Tier Instruction Tier 1 = 8o% of student Benchmark Tier 2 = 15% (2 years behind) Strategic Tier 3= 5% lacking basic skills Intensive (phonemic awareness) FIDELITY!

18. The Big Five Components • Phonemic Awareness • Phonics • Vocabulary • Fluency • Comprehension FIDELITY!

19. V. Assessments State Boards of Eduction Policy Implementing A.R.S. Section 15-704 • Pursuant to A.R.S. Section 15-704(A), the State Board of Education defines the selection and administration of reading assessments as follows: • Section 15-704, each school shall use the diagnostic information obtained from these assessments in order to plan appropriate and effective intervention

20. Types of Assessment Universal Assessment • Outcome Assessment: AIMS, NWEA • Screening Assessments: AIMweb, DIBELS • Diagnostic Assessment: in-depth • Benchmark Assessments • Progress Monitoring Assessment FIDELITY!

21. Assessment time frame Tier 1 - Benchmark • Monthly Tier 2 - Strategic • Bi-weekly Tier 3 – Intensive, At-risk • Weekly FIDELITY!

22. VI. Direct Instruction • Systematic • Explicit • Scaffold • Sequential • Modeled • Multiple Opportunities • Reviewed • Connected FIDELITY!

23. Further… I do. We do. You do. FIDELITY!

24. “I do…” • Stimulate prior knowledge • Review goal, objective, standard • Explain the big picture • Describe the steps or strategy for task • Model the task • Debrief or review what has been modeled

25. “We do…” • Teacher & student trying out the task together • Teacher and student think aloud • Correct precisely any student mistakes • Debrief what has been done together • Review the purpose for the task

26. “You do” means that students should… • Review the directions to themselves • Do the activity or task alone or in a small group • Check their work to see that if matches what they what they saw the teacher do and what they practiced with the teacher • Make any corrections that are needed

27. Lastly… • Let’s work with Fidelity • Let’s appreciate the observations and walkthroughs and learn more • Let’s Tier daily • Let’s put Direct Instruction into practice With FIDELITY!

29. Inspirational notes • "Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity." Gabriel Heatter • "High achievement always takes place in a framework of high expectation."
