My independent responses to questions on the Unit Organizer:
1. How do we sustain the focus of professional learning on teaching practices and student learning to increase literacy? Have continued professional development throughout the implementation; access to representatives either in person, phone, or email to answer questions or give suggestions/advice as I implement the strategies or routines.
2.How do we transform data to become meaningful to improve instruction?
Let the data guide your instruction. Not just the numbers, but the strengths as well as weaknesses. Pair students with other students that might need further help in an area/skill.
3.What are the keys for fidelity of implementation with SIM?
SIM routines and strategies have to utilized on a regular basis. Daily is best, but there must be ample, consistent time to acquire the skills that help to show mastery of that skill or increase their ability levels.
Self-Question to Answer:
How do we continually motivate students throughout the unit/lesson/strategy to help them understand the advantages to the unit organizers, routines, and strategies?
