Last Thursday, December 3, Dwayne and I presented to parents at Kinard Middle. Dwayne presented on the Colorado Growth Model (and did a great job once again!) and I spoke to parents about the district and state perspective in identifying gifted learners. I also shared with parents some of the work Kinard has been doing on Advanced Learning Plans. I have done this presentation for several different audiences, so if your site needs clarification about GT identification, I would love to help!

I have been asked by several psychologists and teachers about whether to progress monitor a student at their instructional level or at their grade level. I have been recommending that student’s are progress monitored at their instructional level in order to limit student frustration as well as be able to determine incremental growth and change. I have also recommended that the student be given one probe every 4-6 weeks at their grade level so that the gap analysis between their performance and the performance of their peers can be monitored. Is this what others are also recommending or are the RtI coaches recommending something different?

Over the past month and a half, I have been working with Guillermo at Irish. He asked me to audit the Dual Language program at Irish. This has been an honor and priviledge to do and I have taken this request very seriously and with all the passion that I have for Bilingual Education, I have given it a lot of my heart. I have been using an effective tool from the Center for Applied Linguistics to aid me in this audit. I have made several observations and studied their schedule. I will be sharing my findings and recommendations with Guillermo later this week. I have also collaborated with Evelyn to keep her informed of my report. I feel that many of my recommendations overlap into RtI, in some ascpects, and thought it would be pertinent to share with you that I have been doing this work.
