Developing a Comprehensive Literacy Model (CLM)

Developing a Comprehensive Literacy Model (CLM) 

Thanks to the Hadfield teaching team for their participation in both the Literacy and Math trainings July 14-16th, 2014.  There is a lot of enthusiasm around improved literacy practices in developing a Comprehensive Literacy Model (CLM) within the School District of Waukesha.  

Below is a short video, reflecting on teaching and learning within the comprehensive literacy model.

 

As we begin to reflect on these three days I wanted to pose some of my reflective questions as we move forward:


1. How can language, reading, and writing be integrated in an intentional way?

2. How can we make sure all students have access to higher level literacy through read alouds, think alouds and through oral literacy in all content areas?


3. As a learning team, how will Hadfield  systematically teach vocabulary? 

4. How will we universally implement response logs? What will our mentor texts be?   

5. How can we reconceptualize roles and responsibilities to best meet student needs?

Moving Forward

As the Hadfield School Improvement Plan and Student Learning Outcomes evolve, we will emphasize improved literacy practices.  The work from these three days will be imbedded within those goals and reviewed and revised throughout the year. 

 Please be reflecting about how your instruction and purposeful planning will evolve from the training this week.  My hope and expectation is that teachers will have these collaborative conversations with teams, colleagues, and reflect on how you will become more intentional in your planning.
