Evidence / Knowledge of Results (What did we learn?)

Recommendations (What do we need to do differently?)

• We did not have enough time to implement all components of our action plan.
• Grade level planning was valuable.

• We will state specifically what pieces we will use for instruction and which for data collection.
• During grade level planning we will specifically identify data collection and instructional components.

• The use of graphic organizers needs to begin on the first day of school.
• The graphic organizer was very beneficial to students.
• We were not consistent in the application of the graphic organizer

• We will introduce the 4—block graphic organizer in September.
• We will come to consensus on instructional methods and consistently implement those ideas as a grade level. For example, we will use phrases rather than sentences in our graphic organizers.

• We learned a great deal about our students’ writing from our data collection.

• We will continue to collect data on student writing. We will meet to discuss, help each other and double check scoring for more consistency.

• The Jefferson rubric did not adequately meet our needs.
• There were scoring inconsistencies among grade level teachers.
• There were accommodations made for special needs students.

• We will be more specific, define expectations and include conventions. We will change the rubric to have clearer guidelines.
• We will consult together to score papers.
• We will ask other grade levels for input about what we can allow and make adaptations for and what we can’t.

• There was a lack of consistency in the implementation of the planner, editing checklist, revision checklist, reflection tool and writing prompt

• We will come to consensus to refine the instruction of tools already developed and follow through and reflect on practices across our grade level.

• Conferencing was valuable for students as well as teachers. It was, however, very time consuming.

• We will continue to conference with students but will do it consistently across the grade level.
