DOK - Creative Strategies for Individual Students

No two kids are the same.  In fact, my four children have completely different personalities, affinities and ways that they learn.  To ensure that learning occurs for every child, it is critical to remember that all kids learn differently and therefore, we have to continuously ask this question.

How do we help each child grow from where they are to where they need to be?  

Joann Jordan working with a
student on guided reading.

If we truly want to focus on the growth of each child, we have to ask a follow up question.  Does learning belong to the student or the teacher?  If the learning belongs to the teacher, the control of how learning occurs will also belong to the teacher; however, if the learning belongs to the student, then control has to also belong to the student.  To give control over learning to students means that we also have to provide students some choices.  All students have strengths and all have weaknesses, and when students have choices in how they will grow in their learning, students tend to leverage their strengths to address their weaknesses.  Therefore, the role of the teacher transforms from a sage on the stage to a guide on the side.  

Teachers who successfully guide learning provide extension activities that do not require the teacher's direct support.  In fact, the most powerful extensions provide students the following:

• opportunities to independently challenge themselves in more personalized ways, 
• opportunities to foster student collaboration to deepen their learning, and ultimately 
• opportunities to create learning experiences that generate higher levels of cognitive activity. 

Finally, the reason that extension is so important is because it provides the teacher with opportunities to intervene with struggling students. While the class is engaged in extension, the teacher can do the following:

• pull small groups for remediation, 
• pull individual students for conferencing or goal-setting or 
• reteach a previously failed concept. 

Intervention and extension go hand in hand and when done correctly, every student's learning becomes more personalized. 

Checklist for STAAR Test Administrators

It gets a little stressful as we get ready to administer the STAAR test.  There are so many things to remember, so I put together a little checklist for you to review.  If you have any concerns, please consult your counselor as Friday (tomorrow) will be the last school day to be prepared.

1. You have followed all requests of your principal and counselor to be prepared to administer the STAAR test.
2. The test Administrator Manual has been read, and you have tabbed or paper-clipped important sections for testing.
3. You are prepared to be at school a little early on test day to get the test booklets from the counselor.
4. You know to verify that you have received the correct tests from the counselor.
5. You know that once you have checked out your tests from your counselor, you are responsible for monitoring them at all times, until you return them back to your counselor.
6. The Test Administrator Directions (the script) have been reviewed and practiced.
7. Your testing room is test ready with instructional displays removed or covered, desks separated and all materials removed from the desks.
8. You have pencils, scratch paper, highlighters or any other supplies ready for students.
9. You are prepared to take up cell phones and all electronic devices before testing begins.
10. You know to contact your counselor first if you encounter any problem, irregularity, or testing violation before, during or after testing.
11. You know to place a DO NOT DISTURB sign outside your door prior to testing.
12. You're prepared to actively monitor all students throughout testing.
13. You're prepared to announce the time remaining on the test at the correct intervals.
14. You know when and how to make the following statements:
1. I can't answer that for you; just do the best you can.
2. You have not recorded your responses on the answer document.  Please go back and mark your answers on it now.
15. You know the accommodations that students assigned to your room should receive and you ensure that they are provided correctly.
16. You have enough dictionaries in your room if they are required for testing. 
17. If you are doing online testing, you have familiarized yourself with the program.  (Special Note: Grade 4 & 7 Online Writing - Do NOT submit the test after Day 1 of testing.
18. If you are administering STAAR A , you have looked at the STAAR A Educator's Guide. (Click Here for a Copy)
19. If your are doing online testing, you have checked out the computers a day ahead of time to ensure that they work.

If you have completed this checklist for success on STAAR, then you are ready to go.  Good luck and as we begin the STAAR Wars, may the force be with you.

True Tech Integration is DOK 2 & 3

When I saw this tweet from @justintarte, I thought to myself, "Tech integration is really hard" and "What does tech integration look like at its highest levels?"  As I pondered that question a little deeper, I reflected back on the various posts that I made throughout the year.  Tatum has a lot of great examples of tech integration.

• Mrs. Beazley's use of Kahoot to hook her kids into science through a bell ringer.
• Melody Ojeda's Print Shop as they leverage technology to create projects that impact the community.
• Throughout the year, we have spotlighted numerous TPS teachers and all of the apps that they use to empower kids to drive their own learning independently.
• Coach Eppler's class leverages student cell phones as useful tools for learning.
• THS's Teachers work with Google Drive as their primary tool to teach English & Social Studies
• Mrs. Januwati has a coding & computer programming club that meets after school.
• Kevin Grace's honors English 2 class participated in CSPAN's annual national video documentary competition.
• Tatum News Today is an outstanding video news program which continually amazes me with their creative promotion of the great things THS has to offer students.

To reach the pinnacle of tech integration, it's not about the tool; it's what you do with it to drive student learning.  If students are leveraging technology to accelerate their learning to deeper and higher levels, that is true tech integration.

This month, I invite you to share your examples of tech integration.  It's simple.  See it.  Snap it.  Tell me what you're doing and I'll share it.  Why should we share?  When we share the great things happening in our classroom, we give all of our colleagues one more idea that has the potential to impact every student in TISD, and that is what Excellence for All is all about.

DOK - #MarchMotivation
It's March and the kids are ready for a break, but when they come back, will they be invigorated about school?  It depends on our excitement for the final push to June.  Here are some tips to help you refocus yours students for success.

1. Review your expectations for behavior and learning.  Students need a refresher on this when they return from any break, especially spring break.  Be sure to address behaviors that have been lacking in the past month.
2. Set an academic goal for the next month.  It may be for STAAR or raising your score on iStation or your next test.  When students are presented with a goal for learning, they are more inclined to meet the goal.
3. Start a Countdown - How many school days do we have to reach our academic goal.  See Kevin Grace at THS.  It is posted on his board everyday and reviewed every day.
4. Have an academic competition where students or groups can compete for the most growth in the next month.
5. Incorporate a reward or privilege system for overachievement.  Students will surpass expectations if they know there's something in it for them.

I encourage you to consider how you can incorporate the 6 C's of Engagement below into your learning procedures and routines after spring break.  It may be just the thing kids need to get motivation for learning.

4th Week of February

Do You Mentimeter?

What is your bell ringer activity tomorrow?  Why not try a poll?  Mentimeter is a new program that you can use to engage your students in answering a rigorous question and enter their responses with their cell phone.  

To get the full experience, get out your cell phone and go to www.govote.at and enter the code 84 44 64.  Then enter your response and watch the graphic below.

DOK - How do students view their learning?

The graphic below illustrates two mindsets that students have about learning.  When students have a growth mindset, there is a strong chance that the student will grow in their learning.  When their minds are fixed, they lack the perseverance to overcome any deficit or difficulty.  How we structure learning for them has a huge impact on how they perceive their potential to learn.  You can't learn something you already know.  You can only learn when you are introduced to a concept foreign to you and have the opportunity and support to study and eventually master it.

College & Career - Find your Future
Students have lots of dreams.  They aspire to reach this goal, or they want to change the world in this way.  But how do they know which careers or pathways they are best suited for?  Well, here is a website for students to explore where their talents best suit them.

TexasGenuine.org is a website that helps students, teachers, and parents explore careers fields and college programs to get there.  There are many links that you can look at, but one that I encourage you to use with your students is the Find Your Future Survey (click here).  After a series of questions, it will tell you the top 3 clusters that your student is best suited for.  The only drawback is that there is some advanced vocabulary, so I encourage you to use the Dictionary.com app, if you come across words that you are unsure about.

Dual Credit Courses 
Sophomores and juniors will be able to take dual credit courses in academic courses and CTE courses next year.  Visit with your students about this great opportunity and encourage them to talk to Mrs. Rowe about what they need to do to get enrolled.  The great thing about dual credit courses is that students get high school and college credit at the same time and the courses are paid for by Tatum ISD.  To be eligible for academic dual credit courses, students must make a 4000 on the STAAR EOC English 2 test (or a score of 4000 on the Alg 1 EOC for College Algebra) or pass the TSI test.  CTE dual credit courses do not have an academic prerequisite.

DOK - From Student Involvement to Student Commitment

I found this quote a few weeks ago and pondered this thought, "How much does involvement play in the arduous task we call learning.  If you think about it, involvement is a pretty big deal.  When kids or even adults don't feel included in any initiative or task, there is a strong chance that they will not choose to take ownership or even an active role in the task.

So how can we involve kids in our learning tasks in a way that will entice them to commit to the learning?

Source:  "Motivational Quotes"
Compiled by Mac Anderson

1. Leadership - When kids have the opportunity to help you lead the learning, participation grows,
2. Examples - When examples of student work are used as teaching tools or exemplars of great work, student motivation increases.
3. Advancement - If students can see how learning tasks advance their abilities and their knowledge, they choose to get involved.
4. Real-world - When learning is tied to the real-world that students either live in or can relate to, involvement grows.
5. N-It-4-Me - Every successful lesson answers this ever-present student question, "What's in it for me?"  If you can sell your content to your client, the student, chances are they will not only buy your teaching but sell it to their peers on your behalf.  That's the ultimate form of student commitment to learning.

Learning can't occur at high levels unless there is commitment.  The manner in which we intentionally involve kids in class everyday plays a huge role in determining whether or not kids will choose get involved and ultimately commit to their learning.

College & Career

•  The oil and gas business is booming (if you didn't already know that), and there is a huge demand for skilled workers in the areas of welding technology, industrial maintenance, petroleum technology and corrosion technology.  Did you know that in these 4 areas, students enrolled in associate degree programs at Kilgore College are getting hired before they graduate.  In addition these jobs have entry-level salaries that start as low as $40,000 per year and can go as high as $70,000.  
• College and career isn't just about courses that lead to 4 year degrees.  It is about preparing all kids for a career that will sustain them.  To the right you see the projects that our agriculture mechanics students are doing in preparation for shows this spring.  While these tasks prepare them for competition, students are also being prepared for careers with huge earning potential.
• This week, take time to share with your students the fact that college isn't just about 4 year degrees.  There are lots of careers that only require a 1 year college certificate or a 2 year associate's degree.

Valentine Cards Never Get Old
Engagement in learning is all about students finding relevance in the learning tasks that they are given.  Mrs. Ojeda and Mrs. Risner's students are making Valentines for Kids in the hospital and seniors in assisted living (nursing homes).  This is one of Mrs. Ojeda's favorite service projects  of the year because most of the students actually love to 'go back to their roots,' get their hands glittery and be a kid again. In both classes, they have made over 500 Valentine cards.  Some of the people in nursing homes may not get any cards, except for these, during the year, and the project makes her students more aware of the people around them, and, for a few minutes, think about how they can make someone else's life a little brighter - even if only for the day.

Here's the link again if you are wondering exactly where these go, and how they get to the kids and seniors.  http://kvne.com/valentinesforkidsandseniors2015/

College & Career
Last week was National Signing Day.  If your students were asked where they are committing to go to college what would they say?  Would they say Texas or A&M?  Would they say, "I don't know", or would they say, "I'm not going to college."  Many students don't know what college is all about.  Even more think that they can't go to college, while a huge majority don't think they need to go to college or technical school after graduation.

Students in Mrs. Asaff's biology classes are simulating the 

digestive system in this messy but engaging lab.

College enrollment is down before kids even graduate from high school.  That is because college is a foreign concept to them, but if you think about it, that is something that we can fix.  In our work, we must inspire kids to believe that they are college material and that they have what it takes to pursue a college & career future.  So how can you promote a college-going mindset in your role?

• Tell students your college story.
• Share statistics about the benefits of getting a college degree or technical school degree.
• Talk about careers connected to your content and encourage students to research them.
• Explain that job opportunities are fewer and wages are less for students who choose not to go to college.
• Tell students about the potential you see in them to go to college.  Kids need to hear that we see their potential.

College is a long way off even for our seniors, but it is never too early to talk about the importance of pursuing an education after high school.  If we conditioned our kids to pursue college every year beginning with kindergarten, I am confident that National Signing Day would reach even more kids than it does today.

Collaboration that Counts

100th Day of School at TPS

Improving our impact on student learning is tied directly to how we improve our own effectiveness as educators.  Meaningful collaboration should result in us getting better at supporting kids by supporting one another.  The most powerful collaboration happens when our discussions center on the following concepts:

• The essential skills that we expect all kids to master at the appropriate level of rigor, 
• The tasks that students must successfully complete to demonstrate mastery,
• The targeted strategies that we will use to respond when individual kids fail to learn, and
• The meaningful tasks that successful students will tackle to extend their thinking in deeper and more complex ways.

This week, ask yourself these questions about your take-aways from collaboration with your colleagues?

• Do I dig deep into discussions about content and reflect on my own effectiveness as an instructor?
• Do I walk away with new instructional and assessment ideas to try in the classroom?
• Do I leave challenged to be more focused in my work with my struggling students?
• Do I leave with more meaningful activities to extend our students once they master the learning target?

If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that your instruction is changing every day to better meet the needs of kids, and that is a good thing?

College & Career

Mrs. Morvan's class using the Mimi

Dual credit courses are a huge advantage for our students at THS.  Dual credit courses are college courses that students can take in high school, and these classes earn college credit as well as high school credit.  This year, Tatum HS had the 6th highest enrollment in dual credit courses for the entire Kilgore College service area.  This area includes all of the 5A schools in the Longview area.  In addition, Tatum HS students as a whole earned the 4th most college hours of all schools with 411 hours behind Longview, Hallsville and Henderson.  This is very impressive.

Currently we offer academic dual credit courses from Kilgore College in the following courses:  English, U.S. History, College Algebra, Intro to Probability and Statisitcs, Psychology, Art Appreciation, and Government.  Students can qualify to take dual credit courses in their junior year if they earn a scale score of 4000 on the STAAR EOC English 2 test.  This equates to making a score at the final passing standard.

You can promote dual credit courses in your class by challenging your students to make a score that is at the final passing standard or the advanced standard on the STAAR test.  It is never too early to promote dual credit courses to our students.  Kids need to hear every day what it takes to be college and career ready.
