Share your observationswith your leadership team and with your faculty.2.3.Encourage teachers to work with their teams to define thework products and outcomes that will be expected for anyextended learning opportunities in their classrooms.Oftentimes, when students are "ahead," they are allowedto work on projects that have no clear level of outcomespecified. What type of student work would clearlydemonstrate the desired level of student thinking forindependent projects? Teachers should be clear andspecific about what type of evidence they will accept toshow that participating students did, indeed, extend theirthinking.If extended opportunities are not already provided in thedistrict's written curriculum resources, work with districtleaders to request this type of support.ImplementationTimelineper Action StepMay 2017ImplementationEvidenceper Action StepFormative & Summative Notesper Action StepScienceWe address questions on a higher level of blooms(especially using C-notes) and have them challengedwith predictions and hypothetical situationsOnce a monthat grade levelacademic teammeetingsOctober 2016May 2017We also incorporate STAAR released test questions inunit testsSocial StudiesMSP- suggested activitiesExtension activities based on student interest (ex:investigate the music of the WWII era, design clothingthat might have been worn during the Medieval era,research foods served in Ancient Rome, etc.)Summer 2017Student choice in assignmentsEnglishEncourage teachers to attend PD over summer relatedto GT strategies and mindsetthGrowth mindset discussion in 6 grade classesWork collectively to challenge students who demonstrateearly mastery1.2.Examine the ways that teachers in your school currentlycollaborate to assist students in their classrooms whodemonstrate early mastery of grade-level objectives.

Have teachers team with otherteachers of the same grade and subject to regroupstudents who show early mastery of any given academicobjective. This practice describes a potentially powerfullearning opportunity for students who demonstrate earlymastery of any particular academic objective(s). Followinga pre-test, regroup (across classrooms) those studentswho already show mastery of the knowledge and skills tobe covered. Perhaps six different students across threeclassrooms will be identified. Group these students andprovide a well-structured project to take their knowledgeand skills to a deeper level on the learning objective.Perhaps the group can work together in the library or adesignated learning lab where another adult can provideeven greater stimulation.ImplementationTimelineper Action Stepgrade levelacademic teammeetingsOctober 2016May 2017Every othermonth at staffmeetingNovember 2016May 2017ImplementationEvidenceper Action StepFormative & Summative Notesper Action Stepth7Sai and Rachelth8 .Darby H and Scout RScienceGrade level partners meet during planning period once aweek to collaborate and discuss new learningopportunities; we are continuously re-evaluating rubricsand assignments to ensure the concept is fully exploredSocial StudiesWork with Social Studies team to understand what eachteam is doing to extend learning and share ideas.EnglishEncourage honors for PACE/GT studentsPage 9 of 23

Make observation of peerinstruction a regular part of the collaborative planningprocess for each grade-level or subject-area team. That is,observing a peer should not only be a professional growthopportunity for teachers who are experiencing difficulties inthe classroom. Instead, have all teachers schedule visitsto other team members' classrooms as part of the way youdo business in your school.One visit perteacher eachsemesterNovember 2016May 2017Ask each teacher to schedule a single period ofobservation time with another team member. If necessary,provide a substitute to allow time for the observations.Have team members coordinate their planning so that oneday of substitute time could provide the opportunity for fouror five teachers to observe. If you cannot provide asubstitute, have various school leaders cover a class ortwo to provide this opportunity. (In fact, it may buildstronger learning relationships with teachers if schoolleaders—rather than substitutes—cover classes as theteachers observe one another.)One visit perteacher eachsemesterNovember 2016May 2017Provide structured time for teachers to debrief following avisit.

Help them work toward thelatter.4.Ultimately, work to develop an observation schedule thatprovides three to six opportunities per school year for thistype of collaboration. Set specific goals for observations,and provide the structure to make them effective bydetermining what would best serve each team's needs.June 2017August 2017Participate in focused learning team walks1.Develop a structure for learning team walks in your school.Typically, a learning team walk is conducted by a group ofthree to five educators—often including teachers as well asschool and district leaders. The team identifies a particularfocus for the walk and investigates the use of a particularpractice or strategy through short observations inclassrooms throughout the school. For example, supposethat your school or district asks all teachers to use giftedteaching strategies in every classroom. The team mayconduct a walk across many classrooms in a particularschool to identify uses of this strategy.June 2017August 20172.Have team members develop and use rubrics orobservation documents to record their observations. Theteam may stay in a classroom from five to 15 minutes or so.At the end of the walk (often a half-day schedule), teammembers use a brief period of time to review theirobservations and to make salient observations. Then theteam meets with school leaders and teachers whoseclassrooms were visited to discuss their observations.Fully discuss instructional strategies followingobservationsJune 2017August 20171.Provide structured time for teachers to meet following anypeer observation to discuss the instructional strategies thatwere used and observed.One visit perteacher eachsemesterNovember 2016May 20172.Model the type of sharing that you would like to see (e.g.,an analytical discussion of what did and did not work in theOne visit perteacher eachPage 11 of 23

Initially, many teachers may be somewhatuncomfortable with this new form of collaboration. However,their comfort levels will typically increase as they becomemore skilled at focusing on an objective analysis of whatwas and was not working in a lesson.3.Initiate discussions about what may not have worked byasking questions (e.g., "What did you intend for students todo when they broke into small groups?"). Be an investigator,not an evaluator. These questions can be excellent lead-insto more objective analysis of the lesson.ImplementationTimelineper Action StepsemesterNovember 2016May 2017ImplementationEvidenceper Action StepFormative & Summative Notesper Action StepOne visit perteacher eachsemesterNovember 2016May 2017Reflect on lessons as a team1.Determine the extent to which teachers use team meetingtime to review specific lessons they have taught. Considerfactors such as the following: Do teachers have a set format for reviewing lessons in teammeetings? Do all teachers actively participate in the lesson reviewprocess? Does the lesson review include any type of student learningmeasure of effectiveness (i.e., assessment results)? Are teachers willing to share portions of the lesson that theyfeel did not work? Does the lesson review lead to specific and tangibleadjustments that are recorded for future use?2.As confidence in this review process grows, have oneteacher observe another's lesson so that he/she can offeradditional insight during the review process. You might alsoconsider videotaping the lesson so that the presentingteacher can observe the lesson even more objectivelybefore reporting back to the group.MonthlydepartmentmeetingsNovember 2016May 2017November 2016on goingPage 12 of 23

In April, a final round oftesting was completed. The final student data was entered. All7th grade reports were given to the students individually, andthey were directed to deliver the results to their parents.Students begin class by dressing then performing stretchingexercises to increase flexibility. A run/walk is thenaccomplished to help with increased aerobic capacity. Oncethis is completed, Tuesday and Thursday are used for fitnesstraining while Monday, Wednesday and Friday are utilized tointroduce units such as individual and team sports.Pedometers are used during walking to measure the amount ofsteps taken during the period with a set goal for each student.MVPA is measured using heart rate monitors worn by studentsduring fitness and organized team sports.
