(minimum 1-2 days of data gathering and analysis). Upon negotiations with the campus leadership, a group of teachers will be selected for coaching for the purpose of "shrinking the change." Whole departments in larger schools would not be eligible for coaching. After needs and audience are addressed, a coaching plan will be established for the campus (minimum 5-7 days of coaching). Consultants are available to work with ELAR, Math, Science and/or Social Studies teachers. Cost: minimum of 6/maximum of 10 days @ $750 per day per consultant/content area.

 

Examining Student Work in the Content Areas: Math, Science, Social Studies

This fee-based service consists of a member of the Region 10 Literacy Team meeting with teachers during their PLC or other planning time to review student open-ended works, such as writing samples, project products, student journals, etc. Teachers will learn to do the following: apply rubrics when evaluating student work, analyze for the “why” a student earned a particular score on an assessment, pose questions to ask when analyzing student work, and interpret data gathered from examining student work to improve instruction in the classroom. Cost: minimum of 2 days/maximum of 5 days @ $750 per day per consultant/content area.

 

Facilitated Curriculum or Lesson Planning in the Content Areas

For this fee-based service, a member of the Region 10 Content Areas Team (math, science and/or social studies) will meet with district/campus representatives to decide upon or learn the lesson planning and curriculum of the district. Emphasis will be placed on whether a campus has the liberty to make changes to the district scope and sequence. Once everyone is of like mind, a content area specialist will lead teachers in one of the following: 

• using data to review the scope and sequence in light of low performing objectives, determining where additional coverage of objectives should be incorporated by adjusting the scope and sequence;

• assisting in understanding new curriculum documents such as TEKS Resource System substituted for former curriculum documents; or

• using the scope and sequence (no matter what the origin) to facilitate the writing of lessons by the teachers that are aligned to the curriculum and include the focus elements of the needs assessment (e.g., engagement, rigor, vocabulary, etc.).
