    Professional Development & Small Group Instruction

    I am amazed but not surprised at the way the Fabulous Jamieson Staff has taken 2 hours of professional development and made it their own. Your continued effort and ability to implement best teaching practices in your classrooms is proof why Jamieson is able to continue to exceed and break down all learning barriers. As promised I am sharing our discoveries from our conversations with all.

    How can we implement the WIDA Standards in our classrooms?

    • Model directions
    • Use visuals and manipulatives
    • Role play
    • Encourage social interactions (5 min. morning conversations)
    • Draw and Label
    • Preview materials/concepts before lesson
    • Review prior concepts
    • Rephrase

    Successes with New Reading Series

    • Quality time spent in small groups
    • Efficiency in learning students’ level
    • Intervention Materials available
    • Materials available to identify levels and groups
    • Time available to see each student
    • Group dynamics

    Frustrations I have placed some suggestions/possible solutions in italics.

    • How do you monitor students working independently while you are working with small groups?
    • How to lesson disruptions when groups change.
    • Need more time to meet with each group.

    Establish a routine and set classroom expectations. Clear guideline, rules and consequences will lessen student disruptions. Making sure all students can complete assignments independently. Don’t give the workbook pages if they cannot complete them on their own or if they are too easy.

    • Would like pull-out could you share the benefits of this to state your case? The reasons why I do not feel this is effective: There is more distraction in the hallway and pull-out rooms then in your classroom. Staying in the room also increases minutes of instructional time by eliminating transition time and disruptions for transitions.
    • “My Sidewalks” does not have enough materials
    • Boring or too difficult center work Ask your coach to help you create better ones!!!
    • Not enough room to move students around the room Move teacher desks into the corner of the room or against the wall. Place students in tables instead of rows.  Make the classroom student centered. Ask your coach to help you in organizing your classroom!!!
    • If our reading scores were so good last year, why are we throwing that all aside for this new plan? After looking at the data, there are still areas where we can improve. We want ALL students to meet or exceed the standard. Traditional teaching practices will never meet the needs of all learners. Do not throw everything out. Continue to use your great teaching skills just do it for each small group and modify it for the learners in front of you. If everything was perfect why did you agree to purchase a new reading series?
    • The new series is set up for 18-20 students not 32-34. I can see how you may feel this way but aren’t they all? How did we manage to do such a great job with more students and less resources for all these years? Continue to be the outstanding teacher you are and make the materials work for you. You should not work for them.
    • It’s not possible to follow the plan laid out for us, we teach other content areas. We all teach/taught other content areas and Language Arts. Ask your coach to design a plan that works for you!
    • Independent work/centers require more copies. Suggestion increase copy amount. This might be the case in the beginning but centers can be created to be reused over and over again, year after year. Mrs. Miller, Ms. Hamano and the bilingual team have all began creating reusable centers that are not boring. Ask them or your coach how to do this to meet the needs of your class.
    • Cannot cover everything in TE in 5 days.  DON’T teach everything! Curriculums are designed to sell to the masses. They put everything in there and to sell it to everyone. Teach what your students need to learn.
    • Time for writing Focus your teaching to meet the needs of your students sometime less is more! You do not need to teach everything everyday.
    • Centers creates more papers to grade. If the centers are practice of what we are assessing then it is neither busy work nor does it all need to be graded. The evidence of students’ efforts in centers should be reflected in their assessments.
    • Feeling Overwhelmed Sorry! Change is overwhelming and as time moves forward I will do my best to ease this feeling
    • TE is not user friendly sorry! Not in our control. but I will let the rep. know
    • Practice book too hard for students to complete independently. Don’t use them. This is a tool for you to use not a script for you to follow.
    • Noise Level. Learning is noisy but setting clear rules, routines and expectations for ALL, will decrease the noise level. Remember the level of noise will rise to the level of the teacher.

    You are all amazing teachers! Your students are as well. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!!!
