When your appointments are scheduled, please return to your seats.

A Language That Expresses Care

We speak with words;

but words are not just uttered,

they are chosen.

We use a language;

but that language is not merely words,

it is a unique way of choosing to be in the world.

We teach others a way of being in the world;

but they are not mere recipients,

they also choose to show us their lives and hopes.

J. Novak

A Language That Expresses Care

• As you reflect on the poem, think about your role as an interventionist and your students.

• In what ways does the poem define the work you need to do to support your students?

• When prompted, join your 12 o’clock appointment.

Charting the Course…

Join the colleagues at your table and create a detailed, descriptive process flowchart.– The flow chart needs to map out the processes that should

be consistently used across the district to identify students who need strategic and/or intensive interventions.

– Include the data streams and sources that need to be consistently used to support the processes you have identified.

– You may want to use post-it notes to map out and/or develop your process flowchart.

– Reflect on the notes that were generated from the reading interventionists’ PLC in November to guide your processing.

Charting the Course…

When prompted, join another table and take turns sharing your process flowchart with another group.

Create an agreed upon process flowchart that would be standardized across our district.

Be prepared to share.
