      "Leadership is about making a difference for -other- people" - great thing to keep in mind!

      We all are human and need to stay positive even when others are not. It does make a difference to others. Students and staff.
  • People watch their leaders far more closely than most leaders will ever realize.

      This is so true. I never even thought about how much we do this until reading this article. Great article!

    Great article! I love the comment on leaders giving their people hope. Leaders have to surround themselves with people they can trust, but also must be held accountable.

    This will be a very helpful list when we plan PD. We can use it at our district leadership team meetings or our media dept. meetings.

      Have you read Friedman? I have a little...there's also plenty of push-back on this guy's ideas.
  • (1) critical thinking and problem solving; (2) collaboration and leadership; (3) agility and adaptability; (4) initiative and entrepreneurialism; (5) effective oral and written communication; (6) accessing and analyzing information; and (7) curiosity and imagination.

      I think these are all great...but think back to the '5 essential characteristics' and formative assessment, etc. How will we be able to "assess" these skills? It's tough to assess these soft skills, in my opinion.

      Yes, these are definitely broad topics. What underlying, assessable skills make up these survival skills?

Educational Leadership:Interventions: What's Working:Making the Most of Progress Monitoring - 8 views

  • Developing the data collection system involves decisions about when to collect progress data and which rubric to use.
  • If a student has not made adequate progress toward an objective, the team needs to have a conversation to decide what to do.
  • The visual format of the intervention form enables team members to quickly review the data and make decisions about the intervention.

      I would definitely like to spend more time re-reading this article. However, as a teacher who has worked with similar forms for years, why are all the examples about elementary students with relatively easy barriers to track? The position that online record keeping has more immediacy was interesting.

      good question, re: elementary. Does anyone have any secondary examples to share?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Better and more efficient progress monitoring tools can lead to better instructional decision making and improved student outcomes.

      So true! The easier it is to access, and faster accessability, the better!

      This also reinforces that progress monitoring is not just the function of special edu, or an interventionist, but a part of the instructional process

      This looks like good information about developing a rubric to use for reading comprehension.
  • Other objectives may not lend themselves so easily to a rubric as rate of reading. For example, reading comprehension will require the team to consider what to measure and how to measure it.

  • In fact, progress monitoring and reporting is the federal special education requirement with which schools struggle the most (Etscheidt, 2006). For students with disabilities, schools follow specific procedures for developing an IEP, which involves selecting targeted goals and services. But even the IEP is not sufficient to guide daily intervention and progress monitoring. Instead, IEPs create the broad structure from which educators can develop a more detailed and practical day-to-day intervention plan.

      Instead of stipulation on progress monitoring, why not place more emphasis on quality instruction.

    A nice write-up on progress monitoring using electronic tools.

    This article is a keeper for me. A collection system about data collection, rubric, and progress monitoring.
