many boxes as you can in five minutes.

idea from as many participants as you can in ten minutes.
Concept Cards: On the back, choose a word or phrase that stands out to
you from your Alpha Boxes (something you have learned or find

Editor's Notes
There are several forms that are used to document RTA information. In addition to the PEP and Reading 3D Student Summaries, teachers must maintain a Portfolio Score Sheet for students that are completing a student portfolio. Once a student successfully passes the required number of passages the Recommendation for promotion form must be completed. At the end of the year, after the EOG a proficiency form must be completed and turned into Jackie Jacobs in Elementary Education. This form has been shared with coaches and administrators but must be printed out and sent in to Jackie Jacobs at the end-of-the-year. This process is explained on the Read to Achieve Documentation Checklist which can be found on the C&I Website.
Portfolio Score Summary Sheet has been shared electronically.
Proficiency Form has been shared electronically with administrators and coaches.
The Promotion Recommendation form is the on C&I Google Site – RTA Section
Read to Achieve Documentation Checklist is found on the C&I Google Site
Refer to the End-of-Year checklist for more specific information and dates pertaining to other documentation and letters.
This outlines what goes in the cum folder each year.
Please order these forms as soon as possible. Print shop is often backed up over the summer and waiting could delay delivery for the beginning of the year. There is a moratorium on supplemental materials and your principal will be notified when they are allowed to place orders. Postpone ordering the TRC Written Comprehension questions until the updated version is approved from DPI.

You will find an optional staff activity that you may want to do with your folks. It is a fun way to review all of the pathways to proficiency for 3rd graders. It is important that many on your staff (test coordinators, SST members, 3rd grade teachers, 4th grade teachers, parents etc) are aware of the pathways when talking with parents
