Writing Norming Is Coming! (K-5)

 Please remember writing norming meetings are coming in the month of April.  In the Spring, each staff member will score up to three of their own students' writing, share their class’s work with another grade level peer by random shifting, work collaboratively with a teacher from another school, and continue to have valuable discussions of what narrative writing should look like at their grade level.  The rationale for this assessment practice is to provide experiences for inter-rater reliability, district accountability and for professional growth and discussion among peers.  The assessment practice will provide staff a vision of writing across the district.  This will also link to the expectation of looking at cross school and cross district data during the Spring Data Dives. Coaches will be sending reminder emails for your specific date. MTSS Co-Teaching staff is invited to the specific grade levels they teach with.
