Highly effective instructional strategies

Fall90 day plan
Teachers will collaborate, implement, and adjust data driven small group instruction for at least two-thirds of the ELA and MATH daily instruction time, to increase student gradual release of skills practice in the time after first teach lessons have been given
All teachers will record attendance and initiate attendance team plan procedures on time. Alameda ES leadership/admin will increase the frequency of community feedback requests and will celebrate good and improved attendance school wide
Spring 90 day plan
Teachers will plan and conduct student conferences between ELA and Math unit of study using curriculum and interim assessments to give organized feedback to students regarding their learning and understanding, to set goals for upcoming standards, and offer time for student feedback to the teacher
All Teachers will continue to record attendance and initiate attendance team plan procedures on time. At every weekly grade level collaboration session teachers will bring ELA, Math, and MLSS student data for collaborative discussion, planning, and implementation of layer 1 (core) instruction and to reflect on between unit of study student conferences

Alameda Values (Expected Behaviors)
Our Hands are for working and helping
Our Words are kind and true
If you see something, say something
Please help your student to understand what their behaviors should be when they are at school. Anytime we need to talk with a student regarding their behavior- Principal and Teacher will communicate with you!
Families are our biggest support when it comes to how students act. These are the behaviors I support the most with:
Hitting has an automatic consequence of loss of recess for a reteach with the teacher or principal, or In School Suspension with the Principal
School Vandalism in the restrooms, classrooms, or campus may result in limited access in those area, restitution (payment for repair), and a conference with the students, Family, and Principal
Defiance in Class with Teachers and Staff will result in a conference with student, teacher, and principal, possibly counselor
FAMILY/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Families have an opportunity to talk exclusively with teachers on their student's progress in class in relation to their academic learning and possible behavioral needs on March 16 and 17.
