DATA TEAMS – discussion
Celebrations
- Team focus
- More on task
- More meaningful
- Less time wasted on forms
- Names!!! of kids on document that are behind
Challenges:
- Time – lots of team planning time
- Making sure we are asking good facilitator questions (getting comfortable)
- Missing goog doc – (couldn’t find it after it was sent)
- More meetings – (However, for specialist they love it since they are divided in math and reading)
- Early release time does not jive with what we are going to do during that time so not sure what to do
- Getting more comfortable with google doc but taken a bit
- Gen ed teachers are doing most of the work – then lots of time is spent getting the others caught up
- Some students are so far behind that its hard to get the power standard to fit their needs – all kids on the same focus
Questions with some answers:
- Tech person not participating in the conversation? Do we need to change roles so everyone can contribute more? It might be a good idea.
- Do you have a problem of seeing what the reporter is typing while typing? You can project it. It may help.
- Is it possible to see how other teams work? If you are interested in attending another meeting, then yes! Just ask if you can sit in.
- Things are not lining up well on the google doc. How can we help this? – Chrome – if you open goog doc in Chrome the data lines up better
- Are we phasing in all groups of 4 groups next year? District expectation will be that all 4 groups will be addressed
