3. Essential Action/Research-Based Strategy: Teachers will more deeply utilize PLC structures to strengthen their practice through concentrated instruction, intra-unit intervention, remediation, and enrichment, and the development of more robust common formative assessments. Evidence Driving This Essential Action: The English side of the day receives EL and SPED co-teaching support. As a school with 45% of our student population being EL, it is critical to ensure that literacy development is effective and adequate to the emerging bilinguals' academic process. Plan to Assess Progress: ● Active administrative and instructional coaching presence during PLCs, team meetings, PD offerings. Quarterly data presentations on student performance data. PD offerings in differentiated instruction. Courageous Conversations PD as part of our monthly school priorities meeting. Monitoring and evaluation of lesson planning, unit planning, and of the implementation of common assessments. Specific professional learning in language learning, dual language education, co-teaching strategies. ● Use of a GLAD checklist and look- fors when observing lessons. Teachers will reflect on their professional learning and use their learning to support PLC discussions. Reflections will be included in professional learning plans.
