TIME TO PROCESS AND COLLABORATE

With a colleague or grade level team, dialogue about the following:

• What structures are already in place in your classroom to assist you in observing and collecting data to measure growth with the Successful Practices?

• What information or tips do you need to communicate with your parents about the Successful Practices work in your classroom?

• How can we align our efforts as a grade level or as a school team?
