ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT
PART 1: OVERVIEWAdministrators will be able to…
• Identify the 4 main components of Academic Enhancement
• Explain the teacher and administrator roles during Academic Enhancement
• Break down data from a master tracker to identify areas of proficiency and deficit to assist with instruction
WHAT IS ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT?
• Formally known as Extended Day, Targeted Instruction, 7th period
• 3-5 pm
• Occurs every Monday-Wednesday
• Designed to “grow” scholars
WHY ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT…
• Tindley School’s philosophy• Extended Day origin• The need for more time with scholars• High level of accountability
• Charter School vs Public School• Calendar Days • Autonomy (the flexibility to make decisions in the best
interest of kids)
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Skill Review (3-4pm)
Accelerated Skill Review (Optional)3-4pm
Standard Mastery 4-5pm
Clubs/Homework4-5pm
Targeted InstructionScholars that have below a 75% in a class
EnrichmentScholars that have been identified as “High Flyers” through Acuity assessments
Targeted InstructionScholars that have not demonstrated mastery of a given standard according to high stakes assessments
EnrichmentScholars that have demonstrated mastery of a given standard
DOES IT WORK???
YES- BUT MUST BE OWNED BY ALL
• Walking your talk
• Consistent visibility by ALL admin
• Making sure weekly plans are posted and BBC updated
• Friendly Reminders about submissions
• Training staff on all protocols
• Allowing common planning time

Evidence of Growth (based upon targeted skills pre/post)
Average Increase of Percent Mastery after Re-Teach of ACUITY skills
Bazilio/Physics 10 For the month of November there was a focus on utilizing the standards assessed in ACUITY A to reteach skill deficits during the 2nd hour of AE. Teachers had to be extremely intentional by developing bi-weekly assessments and mini-lessons that addressed areas in need of remediation. The first hour was devoted to make-up/re-do and reteach of current concepts.

HOW TO TRACK THE DATA
TRACK THE PERCENT MASTERY
1. Count the number of scholars that scored an 80% or higher on the specific skill/standard.
2. Divide that by the total number of scholars.
Example: Author’s purpose4 scholars scoring 80% or above4/5 scoring proficient80% increase in mastery
TRACK THE AVERAGE PERCENT
1. Add the scores for a specific skill/standard together
2. Divide that by the total number of scholars.
Example: Author’s purpose1. 100 +100 +50 +100+100 =4502. 450/5=90Percent Average: 90%
SHARE THE RESULTS WITH SUPPORT STAFF
The main tracker automatically imports data into individualized trackers that can be shared with support staff, parents, etc.

OBJECTIVES
Administrators will be able to…
• Explain and determine the effectiveness of planning
• Identify and understand the relevance of each planning component
Why should we plan?
• Ensures specific skills are targeted
• Allows for curriculum alignment to mini-assessment
• Keeps instruction on pace• Increases scholar
engagement• Helps with classroom
management
FAIL TO PLAN = PLAN TO FAIL
DATA DIVE!!!!
• AE areas of focus were based on the MOST RECENT High Stakes Assessment
• Strategic Data Dives were held to break down areas of deficit prior to the creation of the groupings and planning for AE
• We have to be intentional when modeling how to break down data
FRIDAY DELIVERABLES
• All teachers will be given time during Friday PD to complete 3 planning sheets that will be utilized during Academic Enhancement for the upcoming week
• Planning sheets need to target specific skills/standards based on high stakes assessment data
• Plans need to reflect what will be tested on the bi-weekly mini-assessment
START WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT FIRST!
• Look through your mini-assessment
• Break down the skills/standards you plan on re-teaching
• Use the Bi-Weekly Planning Sheet to outline each day
BE INTENTIONAL!
Before planning, ask yourself:•Can I teach two standards on the same day?•Do I need to break apart a standard over several days?•Does it make sense to teach the standards in a certain order?
5.22
Add and Subtract Fractions including mixed numbers with different denominators

PLANNING SHEET COMPONENTS
• Teacher Objective• Materials• Anticipatory Set• Scholar Objective• Modeling• Checks for
Understanding• Guided Practice• Closure• Independent Practice
TEACHER OBJECTIVE
• Select an objective at an appropriate level of difficulty and complexity
• Determine your objective through task analysis, diagnostic testing, and/or congruence with Bloom's cognitive taxonomy
• Make sure standards are listed, as well as the Critical Skill being covered (unpack the standard).
Notes:
• The SWBAT explain how to multiply and divide positive fractions and perform the calculations (Standard 6.24).
• Critical Content: Multiplying mixed-numbers
• Critical Skill: Explaining Critical Skills need to be bolded. Critical Skill language would be your Bloom’s verbiage.
• Note: The standard covers more than the skill I plan on remediating for the hour. Teachers make sure you are unpacking the standard and listing the Critical Content you are covering for that particular lesson.
SAMPLE OBJECTIVE
MATERIALS
• List ALL materials including handouts, textbooks and technology that will be utilized
• Think about what will create the most engagement for your scholars (remember it is the end of the day)
• Pay attention to the learning modalities of scholars- try to reach a variety of learning styles
Notes:
• SMARTBOARD, Whiteboards, Dry-Erase Markers, “Flocabulary” Multiplying Fractions rap, a pre-printed page of math problems to pull from for whiteboard work, “Multiplying Mixed-Numbers” worksheet
• Pre-select the web-sites you plan on using prior to delivery
• Prepare and print all your worksheets/handouts in advance
• Have systems in place to distribute materials so instructional minutes are not wasted
SAMPLE MATERIALS
ANTICIPATORY SET
• The purpose of an anticipatory set is to elicit students' attending behavior, focus them on the content of the instruction to follow, and help them develop a mental readiness (or "set") for it.
• An anticipatory set activity should continue only long enough to get students "ready and set to go," so that the major portion of instructional time is available for the accomplishment of the current objective.
• An anticipatory set is not needed if students are already alert and "ready to go" because yesterday's teaching built a bridge or transition to today's lesson.
Action: Notes:
• I am going to show the Flocabulary video on multiplying fractions.
http://www.flocabulary.com/multiply-fractions/
• This video will review multiplying improper fractions (the lesson we had yesterday) and create a lead into today’s lesson.
• The rap and visuals will engage scholars and spark their interest.
SAMPLE ANTICIPATORY SET
Notes:
• Yesterday we reviewed how to multiply improper fractions. Today we are going to review how to multiply mixed numbers and explain the process.
• Critical Skill needs to be tied into the scholar objective.
• Recipes, sports stats, shopping, etc. all require the ability to understand and manipulate fractions (real world relevance).
SAMPLE SCHOLAR OBJECTIVE
MODELING
• Identify and teach main concepts and skills, emphasizing clear explanations, frequent use of examples and/or diagrams, and invite active student participation.
• Create examples of an acceptable finished product (a story, poem, model, diagram, graph).
• Think aloud about how you decided to perform a task (how to identify the main idea, or determine ways of thinking or making decisions while completing the assignment).
• It is important that the visual input of modeling be accompanied by the verbal input of labeling the critical elements of what is happening (or has happened).
Action: Notes:
• Using the SMARTBOARD, I am going to model the steps of how to multiply mixed numbers.
• I will use math talk-aloud strategy to model my thinking.
• I will color code my steps.
• Notice how I am planning out the way in which I will model. Showing the steps is not enough. How will I show them, what strategies am I going to use to explain the material?
SAMPLE MODELING
CHECKS FOR UNDERSTANDING
• Observing and interpreting student reactions (active interest, boredom) and by frequent formative evaluations with immediate feedback. Adjust instruction as needed and re-teach if necessary.
• The teacher needs to know at what point students possess the information and/or skill necessary to achieve the instructional objective
• Sampling• Signaled Responses• Group Choral
Responses• Individual Private
Responses
TYPES OF CFU’S
Action: Notes:
• I will incorporate cold-call and thumbs-up/ thumbs down to CFU.
• I will CFU when converting mixed numbers to improper fractions.
• I will also CFU when multiplying the numerators and denominators.
• Last I will CFU to ensure scholars are simplifying.
• Be strategic about when and how you want to CFU.
SAMPLE CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
GUIDED PRACTICE
• The beginning stages of learning are critical in the determination of future successful performance.
• Initial errors can become "set" and be difficult to eradicate--called misconceptions.
• Scholars' initial attempts in new learning should be carefully monitored and, when necessary, guided so they are accurate and successful.
• Teachers need to practice with the total group or circulate among students to make sure instruction has "taken" before "turning students loose" to practice independently.
• With teacher guidance, the student needs to perform all (or enough) of the task so that clarification or remediation can occur immediately should it be needed.
Actions: Notes:
• Using mini-whiteboards, scholars will be given problems on the SMARTBOARD to work out individually. They will flash their answers to the teacher when finished.
• Volunteers will be selected to come up to the SMARTBOARD and walk the class through the steps to explain how to solve the problem.
• Volunteers may cold-call other class members to help them with the steps.
• Make sure a variety of question types are used
• Call on a variety of scholars to “gauge” if instruction was clear

GUIDED PRACTICE EXAMPLE
CLOSURE
• At the end of each lesson, the teacher reviews or wraps up the lesson by posting a question for the class: “Tell me or show me what you learned today.”
• Closure is not necessarily an end-point, but more a final “Check for Understanding.”
• Closure for an on-going activity, such as a project or lab may not be appropriate.
Action: Notes:
• I will review the steps for multiplying mixed numbers using Whole Brain. • Students will work in
partners to “Teach Ok” the steps to multiplying mixed-numbers.
• This is my final CFU. In this particular lesson, I will need to circulate around the room to ensure, all scholars can explain the process.
CLOSURE EXAMPLE
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
• Once students can perform with a minimal amount of errors, difficulty, confusion, they are ready to develop fluency, along with increased accuracy, by practicing without the supervision and guidance of the teacher.
• It is important that in independent work, the student does what already has been practiced rather than some new, or experimental task.
Action: Notes:
• Scholars will complete “Multiplying Mixed Numbers” worksheet.
• I will walk around and check completed work for accuracy.
• Scholars should be able to complete the task independently.
• I am taking notes on any scholar that may need additional remediation-Saturday School, etc.
