Tiger 411 Just the Facts!

Greetings Team!

This weekend was filled with many homecoming festivities and Big Kahuana everywhere! Thanks for making it fun for our kiddos and parents. There are so many positive compliments about our schools within the community, and it is all because of your leadership and how much you pour into our students every day.

Thanks for all you continue to do. Relax, be prepared, and be intentional.

Action Items:

• Please make sure you are reading the TIGER Sprint each week; this is on pause until further notice.
• Tier your teachers if you haven't already. I will ask teams about this on our walks moving forward.
• No WIG meeting this week. Update your campus-created trackers. We will meet and discuss next week!
• Principals only for the TEAMs meeting, please please be on time and logged in by 8:58 am!
• Principals, update and input your professional and student goals into Strive. We will begin our BOY goal-setting meeting within the next two weeks. If you choose to create a goal that differs from the W.I.G. or your lead measures, that is okay, or you have the option to keep these the same. I will be sending updated calendar invites with these times.

Boarding all first class learners!

Our next PD is Friday, October 3rd at 8:00am, and all of the session information is located on our PD website. Please remind your staff to arrive on time, bring a charged laptop, and to register on eduphoria for their session. We kindly request that all participants are seated by 8:00am, as we want to honor starting and ending on time. In short, your people need to be on time please... (Dockery).

Thank you for your support!

• Campus Walks and Look-Fors'
• For the next cycle, we are focusing purely on the implementation of HQIM and alignment to the task, student behaviors, and teacher behaviors during Tier 1 instruction. We will continue this focus. Please provide the most recent Tiering of teachers and the feedback provided as well.
• A few reminders of our walks: You will need to have an agenda/schedule of the teachers' classrooms to share. Plan time for a short debrief after each classroom, for example, 5-minute observations, 2 minutes in the hallway to quickly debrief, and move to the next classroom.
• WTs and OBs will need to be a standing agenda item on your admin meeting agendas, including entering your data in Strive. Continue this practice weekly; not every observation needs to be entered. However, ensure that you enter the required informal and formal observations.
• Benchmark Testing: There is no expectation for campuses to "shut down" for benchmark testing. Coordinators have created exams to be taken during your normal blocked times. Secondary may need more time, depending on the exam and your students. Allow students to test in their normal settings at this time; we are not running a mock STAAR exam. Of course, ensure all accommodations are in place as you usually would. Elementary, you have intervention time available to use if students do not complete their assessment. However, do not create extra work for you, your teachers, and ICs. Keep it simple.
