We made it!
Big thanks to everyone for their participation in Tuesday's meeting! Read on for information about RCS, Per Session, important dates, and more.
RCS: Based on your input at Tuesday's meeting and the Gateway 2 data, we decided on the following topics for the RCS scheduled for April 26th:
- 1c (Setting Instructional Outcomes) and 1e (Designing Coherent Instruction)
- 3c (Engaging Students in Learning)
- 3d (Using Assessment in Instruction)
- Domain 1 practice can have a trickle down effect on the other domains and 3c has a higher benchmark for Gateway 3 than 3b (which we also discussed as a topic) and engagement is generally higher leverage.
Important Dates:
- May 7th: LI Meeting (Virtual) 4:30-6:30
- May 9th: Virtual SBS via Google Hangouts or Free Conference Call
- The topic is Family and Community Engagement
- The May 8th session is now Peer Feedback on Unit Plan
- The reason for the switch is because the Family and Community Engagement session lends itself better to virtual conversation and collaboration than the Peer Feedback on Unit Plan session.
- May 16th: Final Teaching Portfolio due
- May 20th-May 31st: Gateway 3
- May 22nd: Final SBS
- Per Session for April is due Thursday, April 25th. I know this is over Spring Break and may of us have plans but we want you to get paid on time!

Upcoming SBS
May 1 - Educating All Learners Part II
- Gateway 2 Reflection Paper due
- As you review differentiation and grouping, remember to emphasize to PTs that even if they experience resistance to implementing these strategies in their Coach's classroom, they are important to learn for their future teaching.
- Therefore, they should engage authentically in the practice on slide 19, even if they are uncertain if they can apply the techniques in their classrooms.
- Layer in your own examples of differentiation and grouping. Consider bringing in examples from your own classroom.
May 2 - Bias in Special Education and Discipline
- UDL Reboot due
- Be sure to establish and enforce norms at the start of this session; the topic can be very sensitive and we want to ensure a challenging and productive conversation in which people feel safe to share and respond to one another with honesty (and respect!).
- Assignment Alert: Final Teaching Portfolio due 5/16.
- For this, PTs MUST upload their work to Blackboard. Anyone who is having troubling with Blackboard should contact the program through the Welcome Center ASAP.
