Denver City is located

about 75 miles southwest

of Lubbock. Kelley Elementary is a

campus with 363 students

of which 85 students (23%)

are identified bilingual and

54% are Economically

Disadvantaged. Eduphoria makes life

easier!!!

Lesson planning just got

simpler with Forethought!!! As a T-TESS pilot school, we

had to find a way to help

our staff in thoughtful and

purposeful lesson planning

without sending teachers

over the edge! One of the components of

the T-TESS is the Planning

Domain.

The need for consistency

across the district led

administrators to decide

that lesson plans would be

entered into Forethought. We decided that our staff

would begin with a “paper

copy” of the lesson plan

template created by Central

Office. The paper copy was

used for two weeks to

familiarize our staff with our

created template.

For two

weeks,

teachers

wrote their

lesson

plans and

submitted

to the

principal.

On September 8 th, all

lesson plans were to be

entered into Forethought.We had teachers work

in Forethought for three

weeks and asked them

to write down any questions or concerns

that they had.

Then…

On September 29 th, we had

our ESC consultants, Emily,

Shauna, and Jennie come to

our district to meet with

staff during planning

periods. They were able to

fill in the missing pieces and

provide the support our

staff needed in Forethought. This approach made the

transition very smooth for

our staff.

Let’

Eduphoria and go to

Forethought, we will

give you about 7 minutes to navigate.

One of the first things I

discovered is Google

Chrome is a necessity when

building and viewing the CIP. Internet Explorer as the

browser will not allow you to

scroll.

Word of Advice: I would

check to see if Internet

Explorer has become an

option before going too far

in the process.

to look at the CIP in Aware.

Each time we administer a benchmark or receive

STAAR results, like all

of you, our grade levels

hold a PLC to discuss

the data and to make

instructional decisions.Data disaggregation =

We are ready to go to work!!!

We begin with individual cards

for each student which are

sorted into three pocket

charts…Level 3, Met

Standards, Did Not Meet

Standards…by percentages.

Each card identifies the

number of Student Groups the

child fits into based on

Snapshot. Each card also indicates

Student Growth for Index 2.
