Continue guiding professional learning communities through the 3 Questions (alignment, assessment, remediation/challenge) as a means to improve student learning.
#Response DateAdditional comments on goal
1.3/19/2008 7:20:00 PMThis should be a tautology in education. Do we really need to establish a strategic goal in the area?!?
2.4/8/2008 12:31:00 AMThere is still a lot to do on this goal. The work that has been done has really been positive in helping students and making departments better. Working through the questions takes time and PLC effort. Glad to see it is here. Hope we continue to get time to work on the three questions as a department.
3.4/8/2008 1:03:00 PMagain this should be part of RTI.
4.4/8/2008 12:26:00 PMThis will always be on-going.
5.4/8/2008 4:21:00 PMthis is indoctirniated already, let's shift gears and focus on some bigger issues
6.4/8/2008 5:08:00 PMIf the community understands what we are trying to provide for the students and they see it works, this will hopefully encourage them for financial support to continuing providing these opportunities to students.
7.4/8/2008 5:18:00 PMI would like to see engagement and relationships added to or embedded in our questions because they have an affect on assessment. What will we do if they haven't learned it? - we have focused on remediation and challenge - maybe relationships and engagement are answers to what we can do also.
8.4/8/2008 4:59:00 PMIf we continually review our objectives and our practices to meet those objectives, I feel that the quality of our teaching will go up.
9.4/8/2008 8:52:00 PMThe three questions are ingrained and are losing their effectiveness. Your established teachers are already doing this, and they will continue to do so because they are professionals.
10.4/8/2008 7:58:00 PMAgain goals that address academic success should be high on the priority list.
11.4/8/2008 10:05:00 PMThe remediation/challeng needs to be explained as being for all students and not just the low- or high-end. It applies to each student.
12.4/10/2008 1:16:00 PMIt has become a mantra. It should continue to be a mantra. However, I think that the goal has been achieved in making it a primary element of the vocabulary/language of teachers. Now it needs to be a skill that we build upon (scaffolding) to move in the next direction. This means it has to fall in priority, but not disappear (with occasional returns to serve as a reminder to all staff).
13.4/10/2008 4:36:00 PMremediation is the most challenging of the three - how to distinguish between the student that studied and the one that did not study
14.4/10/2008 6:13:00 PMThis has been a great tool to look at what we are teaching and why.
