  1. Take the Lead! Online Training Module

  2. AGENDA • Purpose of Take the Lead! • Choosing your students. • Student packet contents. • Guiding Questions. • Initial Meetings. • Documentation. • Reminders. • Questions.

  3. Purpose of Take the Lead! • To focus on coaching and mentoring students who need additional help. • To produce quality results rather than quantitative results for our students. • To produce learning gains for all our Take the Lead! students. • To help teachers become more familiar with students’ data and encourage discussions about data between teachers, students, and parents.

  4. Choosing students using AYP • AYP counts: • Identifies how many times a student’s test score counts towards our school grade and AYP status. • Many of our students fall into all the following categories, which means their AYP counts are high. • Minority • Free/reduced lunch • ELL/ESE • Migrant • Consider this: • If student X has an AYP count of 16 and makes measurable learning gains on FCAT, their score counts towards our school grade and AYP 16 times. • However, if student Y has an AYP count of 20 and decreases an achievement level, student Y will overshadow student X’s success.

  5. Choosing your Take the Lead! Students

  6. What if my T.t.L student is mentored by other staff as well as myself? • If your T.t.L. student is being mentored by several teachers, consider this: • Communicate with those teachers and coordinate which data the student should track in each class. • For instance, if my student is being mentored by his P.E. Coach as well as his Guidance Counselor, I may want to focus on Discovery Learning Reading data, while the P.E. Coach focuses on the Math data and the Guidance Counselor is focusing on PSAT scores.

  7. Student Packet • It is important that we discuss the following things: • The packets are IN NO WAY intended to be more paperwork for the teacher/staff member. • NOR are they intended for you to complete. • They ARE the responsibility of the student to complete. • Each packet contains many measures for progress monitoring, below is our school’s prioritized focus: • If your T.t.L. students have not passed FCAT, you are using Discovery Learning and classroom data to monitor his/her progress. • If your T.t.L. students have passed FCAT, use the most appropriate measures of progress monitoring.

  16. Quick notes on student packets… • Allow the student to Take the Lead! and complete the required portions of the packet. • Use the data which is relevant to the student only. • Hold students accountable for completing the packet sections in a timely fashion. • Use them for documentation purposes. • Use them as a resource for data chats.

  17. Data Chats • Although the student data packets are important, they ARE NOT the only part of the program. • By meeting with your student monthly, you will be able to have some discussions in which you check up on them and discuss their data. • Do not be afraid to discuss their success in your class, ESPECIALLY if your content is AT ALL related to any tested content!

Initial Meetings • Before your first official meeting: • Tell them what this program is and why they were chosen to be one of your Take the Lead! students. • Call home and tell parents about Take the Lead! • Let the kids know you care about their success in their classes and on FCAT  • The first meeting: • Use the guiding questions if you are at a loss as to what to discuss. • Complete all of page one and the first portions of page two.

  21. Mentor-Student Contact Log

  22. Reminders… • Make this student-centered – focus on the areas in which you KNOW your students need help! • Hold students and parents accountable for the data. • Use the data and information to elicit as much information you can to help your student. • Don’t hold your students’ hands – have them reflect and do the writing. They need to be held accountable too! • Bring this information to parents – call home and explain what Take the Lead! is and why his/her student is involved.
