Hi Teachers!
Below are notes from our training on the "PLANNING" Phase of the TLC. We are really excited to be taking steps forward by setting time to meet with the first grade team in January to facilitate a conversation that will enable us to use the study and select phases (including defining essential questions and enduring understandings) and move into the planning of their next science unit! We will plan on meeting with an intermediate team later in the spring. If you would like any additional information or would just like to talk about the TLC and messages from the district, we are happy to meet with you!
Sincerely,
Dana and Kathy

Focus on Literacy (compared to math of the past session)
· Using Rigby AS A RESOURCE
· We noted: Conversational themes, Facilitator themes, Use of resources as the conversation flowed
· Rigby theme tests are not recommended as a whole because they focus more on grammar and skills rather than comprehension. Pieces can be pulled to measure specific skills, but overall they are not recommended to get a full picture on what students know (in relation to the curriculum frameworks).
