Teach the XR program in its entirety to a person or class through generaliztion, following the instructional steps in the Instructor’s Notebook and accompanying manuals.This is my second year of teaching Xtreme Reading. Last year (2019-2020), I taught 2 sections, one for 6th graders and one for 7th graders. Last year, we were in the middle of the paraphrasing strategy when the pandemic had us move to a virtual platform. It was rough because some of the students did not sign in and participate at all. This year (2020-2021), I teach 3 sections of Xtreme Reading, 2 sections of 6th graders and 1 section to 7th graders. I have 3 students who have remained virtual. To date, we have completed the paraphrasing strategy and are beginning the inference strategy. Gather evidence of implementation for portfolios for Xpect to Achieve, one word-level strategy, and one reading comprehension strategy. Photos of implemetation are attached.
Provide a narrative log of your overall implementation experiences (what went well and/or poorly, adjustments made if necessary, ideas generated for issues encountered, and impact.) I have attached implementation logs. The only issue I have had is the problem of excess absences. I think we have to get better at choosing the students to participate in the program.
Provide a narrative describing coaching, feedback, and follow up, identifying your coach. My coach is Janet Atallah. She has been exceptionally helpful. Is I have a question, I simply email Janet and she is quick to respond, often times offering to set up a Zoom meeting. The monthly professional development opportunities are great as well. It gives time to collaborate with other districts.
