are certain teachers that should go to professional
development.
 There needs to be time for teachers to observe
and watch others.
 We moved to “Reading Problems and Dropout”
 Observed the reading problems and dropout
PowerPoint slides
 Did a checklist by John Hattie on what we thought
are high, medium, and low effectiveness within
the classroom.
 The number one high effectiveness is student
expectations.
 What do we put in place to make the school move
forward
 Each of us should research three of the high level
expectations and bring ideas of what works and
increase student achievement
Comprehensive Needs Assessment: Overview by DPI
