RE: Student Progress

We continued to examine collected student work from September thru April in all subject areas. When noticed the following:
  • Students with fluctuating grades tended either not to have writing frames attached to their work, understand the genre (writing narratives), or not keeping up during the writing process (according to writing tracking sheets/teacher observations).
  • Overall, student writing did improve from the first writing sample in September to their first formal writing assignment in October/November using the writing frame.

Next steps:

  • Continue stressing the use of the writing frame
  • Continue examining student work
