James Singleton Charter School December 20, 2018 Deliberate Call to Action" The instructional framewOrk ofJames Singleton Charter School must pivot for the instructional landscape to reflect authenticgrowth. This includes, but is not limited to on-going ceaching and professional development, in depth progress, and consistent rigor in deliverables. James Singleton Charter School will triage the current state of affairs and deliberately address student growth to mastery targets. The following questions must be answered, addressed, and processes implemented: Question 1: If students are not yet achieving Mastery, are they on track to doing so? The current forecasted data suggest our students are not on track to achieve Mastery. Therefore, we must create an end of year achievement level goal for each student and create a system to monitor and support progress. Question 2: What specific blueprints can we coach teachers to develop using a backwards design, and plan lessons that deliberately address the non-negotiables for student success. How is the administrative and leadership team going to provide ongoing coaching and support for teachers?

Circulate When students are working independently on assignments or working together on group assignments, the teachers should move around the classroom looking closely at students' work. The teacher should not be seated at a desk. it is not possible to scan student work from one position. It is also impossible to monitor student behavior from behind a desk. The teacher must get close enough to read what students have written and to ensure students are working on the task assigned. Desks and chairs should be arranged so the teacher has easy access to each student. Monitor . Monitor student progress as you circulate the room. Monitor to ensure students are on task with assignments and are actively engaged in the learning progress whether working as a group or as individuals. Reinforce correct answers The teacher should show that s/he cares whether or not students are getting the material right. Active monitoring is most effective when the teacher appears to be excited about students getting correct answers. Giving recognition to students with correct answers motivates students to care about their work. It helps to keep students who are already on task focused and it refocuses students who are engaging in off-task behaviors. Correct while walking The teacher can identify a lot of errors and make a lot of corrections while walking around the room. The teacher can put a star next to every correct item s/he has looked at on a student's paper Those items won 't have to be reviewed later The teacher should spend no more than 30 seconds with each student?? Point out errors Assist An equally important component of active monitoring is to indicate when items are wrong. The teacher should'make a mark on the student's paper next to the incorrect item and tell the chiid something like, ?Oops. That one is wrong. Look carefully and try it again." Assist those students that seem to be off~task or may not understand the assignment. Do not re-teach individuals The teacher should be understanding and sympathetic to those who do not understand but should NOT stop to teach a student who has made an error. if the teacher re? ?teaches students individually, students will learn that they don't have to pay attention in class during instruction because the teacher will help them individually. This will facilitate more off?task behaviors going forward. Re-teach the whole class If three or more students have the same error, the teacher should immediately stop the class and provide a whole?group correction. Three or more students indicate a gap in the teacher facilitating the lesson and student understanding. In the reteach, the lesson may need to be simplified or explained in a different way to maximize student understanding of the skill. The teacher may need to use hand signals to easily identify if students have grasped concepts taught.
