What Else?

Session Evaluation

Technology Resource List Typed, titled list (include item #) Include what technology is

available to you in the classroom and at the site.

District Technology Policy Developed by the district and

distributed to all employees and parents.

Explains expectations and requirements about the use of technology.

You need to know what is in the policy. Read and review it, how does it apply to you?

Equity Collaboration Log Designed to help the PT review the

variety of ways they communicate in order to identify areas for improvement.

One item of evidence is needed for each type of communication (students, colleagues, resource personnel, families)

Log dates (min. 1 per group) can be just for the 1 piece of evidence or can reflect how often you use that resource (weekly, monthly, etc.)

Sample Effective Communication Deepens the discussion between PT

and SP about communication strategies with hard to reach families.

Designed to surface challenges and areas for growth

Reflection can be bulleted notes, similar to A-7 Conversation Guides

Checking My Equity Systems A self-assessment tool designed to

help PT to reflect on their practice. Review directions. Reflection can be attached or at

the bottom of the page. Reflection can be bulleted as with

A-7 Conversation Guides.

Collaboration Log – Special Populations For one of your Focus Students with: (IEP, 504 Plan, GATE, etc.) Designed to capture collaboration

between classroom teacher and Special education program.

For GATE – if no site/district personnel provide support – “X” out back side.

Verification of Participation in IEP/SST

All PTs must demonstrate Verification doesn’t need to by for

your Focus Student If you attended a meeting earlier

this year, you can use that meeting for verification.

Be sure to black out student names

District Policy for English Learners District policy spells out how services are

provided at each grade level and what adopted materials are to be used.

PTs need to review the information to be sure they understand the “Big Picture” of the District’s system of support.

Review and discuss how it looks at your site.

Is it working?

Site/District EL Contact Depending on how services are provided,

there may be site personnel and/or district personnel who monitor and support the EL program.

PTs need to know who to contact at the district and site level for information about things like:

CELDT testing, re-designation, Clustering, support materials and resources, testing, etc.

Type a list or attach a copy of provided lists. Be sure to include your name and the item #
