Welcome to our 2nd year of professional development. We will review and become more purposeful with the Common Instructional Framework (CIF).

Last year we explored the 6 instructional strategies (the Common Instuctional Framework) through professional development via the 100-level wiki: Please continue to use that Wiki as a resource in your planning to be deliberate in using the Common Instructional Framework.
 * collaborative group work
 * write-to-learn
 * questioning
 * scaffolding
 * classroom talk
 * literacy groups

As a reminder, here are my 5 roles as your instructional coach:
 * 1) Professional Development
 * 2) Instructional Practices (modeling lessons, co-teaching, or supporting your instruction, i.e lesson planning or sharing resources)
 * 3) Instructional Leadership (communications with Chris)
 * 4) Instructional Rounds (facilitating conversations about student learning)
 * 5) Data Analysis (ClassScape, EOC test results, other key data reports)

I enjoyed working with several of you last year to increase academic rigor, thus enhancing student learning. I look forward to working with each of you this year.
