I am currently the Reading PLC facilitator for Kindergarten.
I am a PLC facilitator currently at Bear Branch Elementary School. I am the reading facilitator. I help to collaborate with other teachers on data that is collected through Common Formal Assessment and other assessments that the district uses. We then take the data that is collected to base lessons on individual needs. We make up intervention groups based on the data that we collect and tailor our skill based lessons accordingly to include differentiated instruction.
