Data Team Strategies: As part of the Data Team process, our team selected research-based strategies to use to teach our students how to write summaries. These strategies were selected based on student needs in order to meet the Iowa Core Standard RL.4.2. Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text. Meeting the Core Standards are district and building expectations, so this is one example of I implement strategies to support building and district goals. The attached artifact shows how strategies were selected and implemented based upon student needs. This means that not every student received the same strategy instruction, a clear effort to best meet student needs.
