Creative Technologies Academy issued the following announcement on Dec. 5.
This morning I had the chance to observe our WIN “Whatever I Need” program! So many positive things are happening here in our classrooms and hallways! Kudos to our students and staff for all their hard work!
For those that may be wondering some details about our CTA WIN program: we have strategically organized our schedule in K-5th grade to better support teachers and students so that our intervention time no longer only applies to just our below grade level learners but to ALL students.
We have arranged our elementary schedules so that there are three 30-minute blocks on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
During this time our grade level teachers, special education teacher, instructional coach, academic specialist, interventionists and our two teacher’s aides all go into our classrooms to support small group instruction.
Having eight staff members divided between two grade levels allows us to support our below grade level learners with the growth instruction that they need, support and push our on-grade level students and extend the learning of our above grade level students.
Our student data is being tracked weekly and we have weekly grade-level team meetings with our administration, instructional coach, academic specialist, special education and general education teachers.
These meetings allow our staff to dialogue around student data and plan our instructional strategies that will best support our students during our WIN time.
If you have any questions regarding WIN time and how this will enhance the learning of your child please contact me.
We have tremendous pride that each individual CHARGER is getting WHAT THEY NEED to go CHANGE THE WORLD!!!
