The School Improvement Plan (SIP) is the written plan of how we will reach our goals each year. The critical elements include:Organize:Stakeholders plan and assess needs based on data.Plan:Stakeholders set goals and objectives, identify strategies and measures of success.Implement:Implement activities and monitor progress.Sustain:Identify success of current plan, evaluate and adjust to sustain growth.

Florida Standards are a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These standards outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. 6 Key Elements for Instruction:1. Knowledge and Use of Florida Standards2. Common and Collaborative Planning Time3. Interdisciplinary Content Integration4. Frequency of Project-Based Learning5. Student Collaboration6. Integrated Technology

The guiding principles of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) govern the behavior of our school professionals. The big ideas are:

Focus on Learning: All students can learn and we are responsible to ensure learning occurs.Focus on Collaborative Culture: Time is specifically reserved for collaboration on teaching and learning.Focus on Results:Effectiveness is measured by results, not intent.

The Florida’s Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM) is a systematic process for planning, teaching, assessing and re-evaluating results. It is the road map that directs our actions. Plan Do Check Act

Multi-Tiered System of Supports is a problem solving model that represents the integration of MTSS for academics and MTSS for behavior into a unified model of service. The basic problem-solving components include:1. Problem Identification2. Problem Analysis3. Intervention Design4. Response to Instruction/ Intervention

Lesson Study provides a structure for teachers to collaboratively plan lessons share, observe, record and analyze data to improve instruction. The key concepts are:1. Collaborative Planning2. Lesson Observation by Teachers3. Data Collection and Analysis Guided by Student Thinking, Learning, Engagement and Behavior4. Reflection, Refinement and Re-teaching as Necessary

Personalized Learning (PL) is a system that cultivates independence and self-governance of learning expectations through the expansion of choice and inclusion of voice in a flexible learning environment.PL Key Elements:1. Student-directed Learning2.Learner Profiles and Paths 3. Competency-based Learning4. Flexible Learning Environments5. Structures of Accountability, Continuous Improvement and Innovation

Page 14: Teacher Assistant Professional Development Day Utilizing 21 st Century Technology with ELL Students in the Classroom Environment Juan Dillon, ESOL Program

Splitting your KeyboardTyping with two hands can be

awkward on the iPad, as the center keys are not within easy reach. Instead, you can use Split the Keyboard. To do this, place

your thumbs in the center of the keyboard and swipe out towards the edge of the screen.

To merge the keyboard together again, use the opposite motion and drag the split keyboard together to the middle of the screen.

Faster Charging

It’s best to charge the iPad through the included power adaptor. This is more powerful than the one that comes with the iPhone. The iPad will charge through a USB port from a computer, but only if the screen is off. When the screen is on, the message “Not Charging” will appear next to the battery symbol because there is not enough power for both charging and screen operation.

Proper Re-start

A Hard Re-boot can get your iPad going again in the event an app freezes or it isn’t performing as it should. To do this, simply press the Power button at the top and the Home button together until the iPad powers off (about 10 seconds). Ignore the slide to power message and the iPad will shut itself down. Now, just use the Power button to turn the iPad back on.
