FCS Principals' Walkthrough
Principals from other elementary schools will be here to examine our "Targeted Instruction" WEDNESDAY the 19th from 8:00-10:30 am. They will be walking around in groups of 3 or 4 and will spend about 15 minutes in each classroom. They will be choosing classrooms at random so please let your students know there is a possibility they will be joining your class and that instruction will continue as normal. The look-fors for "Targeted Instruction" are:
- Teacher delivers accurate instruction based off grade-level standards
- Teacher includes varied strategies for students to have more than one way to access material.
- Teacher uses data to implement just-in-time instructional strategies to support students and misconceptions (if observable at the time)
Data will be collected informally and teachers' names will not be shared during each observation debrief. The purpose of this walkthrough is to allow principals opportunities to practice with the "Targeted Instruction" Rubric and is not meant to be evaluative or to give feedback.
Thank you for showing off your amazing instructional strategies and abilities!

Instructional Support Groups 3-5
Students in Groups 1, 2, and 3 in iReady Reading and Math have been divided into groups based off their area of need. Each administrator has been paired with a teacher who doesn't have any push-in support and we are utilizing all of our staff members to support these students in these groups by pulling them in the morning, during RTI blocks, and throughout the day.
Remember: our goal is for 75% of our students in grades 3-5 to score a level 2, 3, or 4 on the GMAS. It is DOABLE!!! It takes a village! If you have students who need support and are not getting it, please let someone on administration know so that we can help. Thank you to every teacher for their effort and dedication supporting our students.
