Priority #1 Increase overall meets and masters

Owner(s) Weiss and Irvin, Instructional Coaches

Second
5% increase in Benchmark 1 meets and masters from 2022 to 2023
9-Week Goal
Strategy: Attend PLC/Planning meetings regularly to ensure the presence of differentiation and
acceleration. Begin the year with a campus data meeting to identify targeted support areas.
Strategy 1 Description: Request campus PLC schedules along with conference periods. Attend based on
targeted needs. Look for evidence of differentiation and acceleration in LPs. Add activities as
needed.
Strategy: Model differentiation strategies in tiered classrooms
Description: Using LPs as a guide, identify times and dates where modeling would be
Strategy 2 appropriate. Give the teacher receiving modeling an observation reflection form. Debrief
during coaching cycles.
Strategy: Complete regular observations/coaching cycles
Description: Identify data-based needs and put teachers in tiers. Divide and conquer using
Strategy 3 coaches as partners (using the Get Better Faster coaching model). Meet with coaches following
PLC/Planning to debrief coaching experiences and changing or maintaining of tiers.
Potential Roadblocks: Resistance from teachers and/or coaches, time management
Anticipate What can we do to mitigate impact?: Show teachers the benefit of the increase of meets and
Roadblocks masters having an overall effect on scores. Celebrate successes. Create weekly schedules
prioritizing tiered needs.

 Science District Support Plan
Recommendations for time allocation to inform support schedule:

Weiss will plan to do a rotating schedule to attend every campus PLC/Planning (with 5th, 8th, and Biology a
priority) with Irvin as a back up.

Weiss/Designee will coach a maximum of 4 classroom teachers, and shadow/coach a maximum of 2

instructional coaches.

Irvin will coach a maximum of 3 classroom teachers.

5% increase in Benchmark 1 meets and masters from 2022 to 2023
Week Goal
Strategy: Complete regular observations/coaching cycles
Strategy 1 Description: Identify teachers on targeted campuses according to Snapshot 1 performance.
Strategy: Build capacity in ICs from McMullan, Crenshaw, AJJH, CHS
Strategy 2 Description: Shadow coaching cycles with tiered teachers - at least once cycle per week.

Strategy: Model effective science lab instruction with the assistance of campus ICs
Strategy 3 Description: Specialist and/or Coordinator will lead at least one science lab on each campus
before benchmark 1.
Potential Roadblocks: Resistance from teachers, scheduling
Anticipate
What can we do to mitigate impact?: Share the intention of modeling a lab, create a weekly
Roadblocks schedule to prioritize strategies

Priority #3 Increase capacity of instructional coaches

Owner(s) Weiss and Irvin

Second 9
5% increase in Benchmark 1 meets and masters from 2022 to 2023
Week Goal
Strategy: Shadow tiered coaches based on last year’s STAAR data.
Strategy 1 Description: Shadowing will include working through at least 2 coaching cycles with identified
ICs before the first snapshot. This includes preconference, observation, and post conference.
Strategy: Attend PLC/Planning meetings regularly to insure impact of identified tiered ICs is
effective in data disaggregation, intervention and acceleration identification, and lesson
Strategy 2 planning.
Description: Attend based on targeted needs. Look for evidence of IC impact. Debrief with
campus IC.
Strategy: Ensure usage of district HQIMs.
Description: Specialist meets with every campus IC to go over district- and campus-purchased
Strategy 3 materials to make sure district materials are being used with fidelity. Follow up with the
Coordinator.
Potential Roadblocks: Coach resistance possible but not expected overall. Scheduling conflicts
Anticipate
What can we do to mitigate impact?: Come to the table with positives and create an
Roadblocks environment of improvement. Created prioritized schedules that correspond with campus ICs.
