October ELD & Title I Meetings

Our monthly day of professional learning with the ELD specialists and Title 1 teachers was a success.  For targeted professional learning secondary and elementary are divided into separate groups.  The focus was on the Literacy Essential Practice #3 – Small Group Instruction. Some of the topics addressed included explicit instruction, fluency techniques and comprehension strategies.  We also discussed the importance of giving ALL students an opportunity to grapple with grade level text as some of our best instructional moments are in small groups.
