3. What?
Do I know about my students? What do
They know and what do they need to do next?
What have they mastered?
What are their next steps?
What are the standards we need to reach?
How?
Do I differentiate my instruction based on the
data of my students?
Do I find the right material for my students?
Do I carry over what they have learned already?
Do I access what they will learn in this unit
Why?
Rationale
Would I teach this but leave this out
for my students?
Would I do a guided practice lesson
As opposed to a demo lesson?
Why is this a good essential question?

6. Look at your different populations who scored a one who
scored a two who scored a three who scored a four.
When looking one to four you then want to ask questions:
What kept your students from becoming a two?
What kept them from becoming a three?
Was it the genres?
What in the standards was missing?
How do you need to build capacity moving forward?
Was it the writing or the reading that interfered with
meaning?
7. When looking at NY ready one noticing is
that the students fell into different
subcategories of the NY ready. This makes
you think about the sub populations. Is there
a sub category that is doing better than
others and why?
Is there a subcategory that needs assistance?
Is it the language or the modifications?
8. The ELA has changed so looking at data is a little different this year, here are some of the
new things and some of the old things we should look at when looking at the ELA
When looking at the test one thing to realize is the scale score will count but not as much
as it did last year because of the change in the exam.
Also the scale scores have changed look at attachment
When looking at the scale score the movement in grades counts approximately two to
three percent. Example is how much did the schools fourth grade move from last year to
this year in fifth grade? Look at regular education than special education, than ells
The scale score from grade to grade counts approximately ten percent of the overall
percentage for the report card. You should just subtract the scale score from example
eighth grade and seventh grade to see percentage of growth or lack of.You should also be
aware that if more students came into the grade from like seventh to the eighth those
should also be taken out of the percentage since you cannot measure there growth.
The ones to fours count in three different ways. First of all you look across them to see
growth in the same grade from year to year thins only counts five percent. The second way
you can do this is to look from one grade like the third grade to the fourth grade to see
growth this is important and counts as about twenty to twenty five percent of a schools
grade.
When you look from grade to grade ones count as one point twos count as one point each
student that scored a twos and threes and fours are added together and doubled to
determine your total score.
Special Education population did more take the exam as well as ELL were they beginners

18. Lead
In the beginning, I not only set readers up to expect that this will be a piece of opinion writing, I also tried to hook them into caring
about my opinion.
Transitions
I connected my ideas/ reasons with my examples using words like for example and because. I connected one reason (or example)
using words like also and another.
Ending
I worked on an ending. It might be a thought or comment related to my opinion.
Organization
I wrote several reasons or examples why people should agree with my opinion, and wrote at least several sentences about each
reason.
I organized my information so that each part of my writing is mostly about one thing.
Development
Elaboration
I didn’t just name my reasons to support my opinion, I wrote more about each one.
Description
I didn’t just tell readers to believe me, I wrote in ways that got them thinking or feeling in certain ways.
Language Conventions
Spelling
I used what I know about spelling patterns to help me spell and edit before I wrote my final draft.
I got help from others to check my spelling and punctuation before I wrote my final draft.
Punctuation
I punctuated dialogue correctly, with commas and quotation marks.
While writing, I put punctuation at the end of every sentence.
I wrote in ways that helped readers read with expression, reading some parts quickly some parts slowly, some parts in one sort of
voice and others in another.

20. Strengths Next Steps Assessment
They seemed to get the
character questions
correct when reading
realistic fiction
Learning to read narrative
non fiction with the same lens
they used to read fiction
Check to see after instruction that
they can follow the characters: their
conflicts, resolution, point of view
etc.
Learning how to
monitor during their
independent reading
Need to realize that that skill
could and should be used
during testing situations
As they work on the passage do they
annotate, underline, question, go
back and reread
They can read text and
get the questions right
on their own text level
Use what they know to
master text of greater
complexity
Watch as they tackle harder level
text to see how they handle
vocabulary, comprehension etc.
They can recognize the
features of non fiction
text
Learn how to use those
features to think about why
they are there and how to use
them
Watch as they use the outside
features of non fiction to see if they
use these features to add to
meaning or interpret why the author
put them there
They are able to notice
characters’ actions and
motivations
Push to interpret why
characters do what they do

31. Has to show research
Has to show student and teacher
accountability
Has to show purpose
32. When researching you begin to notice that the student is
not elaborating and growing ideas
I love the way you describe the feelings of the character
but you do it in one word and sometimes I wonder are
characters that one dimensional and could you develop
your ideas more.. When I look at Journey I can say
journey is upset or which is what is says here in the text
but is says so much more than that doesn’t it lets read
about Journey. He is upset but conflicted do you see that
so I could say that Journey is conflicted he would love to
blame his grandfather for his mom leaving but right her
he is looking at that photograph and realizes that his
mom has a history of not being happy and walking away
even when he feel and needed her. So one thing I want
you to work on is to think about that one idea and how
You can elaborate or grow that idea just like you did
when we further explored Journey.
*2 Journey
When reading your student writing you notice that they are
naming their character putting them in a setting but really
not giving them a sense of story.
I am really impressed with how you in your notebook have so
many ideas about the texts you are reading. But you seem to
move from one text to another and what Im thinking is if we
can slow down. Can we take a text use what we know about
the character and begin to think about questions we can ask
ourselves about this character. Than we can use these
questions to read the text with a different lens and can help
us grow and elaborate on what we want to say about the
text.
33. Are they literal
Do they carry across one text two text
Do they show a deeper level of interpretation
Do they show knowledge of authors craft
Do they show evidence of the central idea in
Non fiction
34. Creating a rubric
What Should It Look Like
How do you use it
