What did we learn?
![Page 16: Leading the Learning Final Project](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/568143f8550346895db08793/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Themes and Patterns
As a result of the data, we have identified strengths and
areas of focus within our literacy programs.
![Page 17: Leading the Learning Final Project](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/568143f8550346895db08793/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Strengths
90 minutes of direct ELA instruction per day Predictability and structure of program increased student
engagement Conversations that directly relate to how to improve literacy
instruction Using Benchmarks to understand current levels of functioning and
where to remediate Literacy portfolios for every elementary student Development of on-going support through K-6 department meetings
by using strong teacher leaders to provide support Support the need for a common literacy block Development of framework for future curriculum considerations
![Page 18: Leading the Learning Final Project](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/568143f8550346895db08793/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Areas of focus
Continue to develop literacy portfolios which will allow us to analyze student growth and organize data
Use the portfolios to support peers and drive decision making Find a standardized assessment tool to be used across programs
which will drive instruction Identify strengths, weaknesses, and implications for instruction to be
able to target these areas with appropriate professional development Writing Process
Support the need for a common literacy block Continue to increase classroom libraries for students to access a
variety of literature
