WHY GOs? Leadership

Support Tactics

Frequently communicate value

for MSS;

Create & protect blocks of time for teachers

to work together to plan and dialogue specifically

about using MSS

Frequently ask teachers what they

need to help them use MSS

Collaboratively develop long range vision for

increasing use of MSS

Strive for balance b/w fidelity & flexibility

On-going goal-setting / planning

Teachers using MSS are encouraged, recognized

& reinforced

Inquire about barriers to implementation teachers may be experiencing

Integrated use of Organizer, Essential Understanding, & Vocab Smart Sheets across classes

Social studies & Science- use outlines for guided note-taking weekly & use webs occasionally (once every 2 weeks). Lang. Arts emphasizes webs for pre-writing. Quality of webs not assessed in any classes.

ALL our classes employ a range of Organizer, EU, & Vocab Smart Sheets at least twice per week in activities & assignments.

Each of us will be using a Frame GO for guided note-taking and/or in-class reading activity at least once per week. We share ideas & experiences using Frames during weekly team meetings.

Each of us is implementing a range of Organizer Smart Sheets. We are coordinating activities/assignments/use of Smart Sheet & rubrics across classes so students learn to use same Smart Sheet in variety of ways, contexts, & subjects.

Course of study standards are linked to specific Smart Sheets. We use a range of Organizer, EU, & Vocab Smart Sheets at least twice per week in a range of scaffolded activities & assignments, esp. “Y’all do it” activities. Smart Sheet use is celebrated / reinforced. Students self-select best Smart Sheet for a given task. Smart Sheets are incorporated as assessment tools. We are conducting action research to assess Smart Sheet impact. We are implementing with high levels of fidelity.

All writing assignments (in all classes) will require students to use a Frame GO & PLANS writing strategy. We use same rubric to asses writing. Each of us will continue using Organizers, but also use at least 1 EU or Vocab Smart Sheet in class once per week. Student Smart Sheet work posted on classroom walls & changed frequently.

We share ideas & experiences using Smart Sheets and brainstorm potential Smart Sheets for LA, SS, Science, & Math standards during weekly team meetings The Implementation Matrix is used to guide us, but we’re not using it to collect data.

SS – 3 MI Frame GO once wk for guided note-taking / Science – Frame GO or Cause/Effect occasionally / Math - none / L.A. – Frame GO & PLANS on-going. Very limited use of other Smart Sheets. Limited range of applications. Students like them.

Each of us is implementing a range of Organizer, EU, & Vocab Smart Sheets in multiple ways (pre-assess, teach, review). SS & Science essay questions require students to use a Frame GO or simple Matrix. Homework includes a Smart Sheet assignment at least once a week in each class. Grades include assessment of ability to complete Smart Sheets. Weekly class time allocated for meta-dialogues/reflections @ strategic learning w/students. We’re using the Implementation Matrix to assess fidelity. Once a month, each of us observe another teach a classusing a Smart Sheet & discuss observations afterward.

Thus, STEPS is used as an on-going goal-setting & action planning tool

Best practices…

Administered 3 times a year

Beginning of year Sends an important message about leadership expectations & support

End of 1st semester

Sets the stage for setting goals / making plans

Takes “temperature” / reiterates message Provides important data for focusing support efforts for 2nd semester
