Pre-Work
Please read the speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" We'll be watching a classroom clip where students are discussing the speech, so it is helpful to remind yourself about what the speech is about.
Please review both the Follow-Up Responses Protocol and Follow-Up Responses Resource. You don't need to do anything but read through each document. We'll be talking about these tools during our session today.
Please have one person from your school team complete the linked Google form. Please let Sara know if you have trouble accessing the form.

Please read "Ain't I a Woman?" Just to remind you of the text. We'll watch video where students are discussing the text.

Mid-Year Reflection
Please open the document in your school folder. This document has the information about your test of change work that you shared with us during our first meeting this year. If your document is blank, you did not share that information with us.
Network Focus
Identify and eliminate low achievement and inequities in achievement by African American, Latino, low-income, emergent multilingual learners, and students with special needs in critical literacy skills needed for success in college, career, and community. We create and support just & equitable literacy instruction, curriculum, and assessment that: 1) Builds cognitive capacity; 2) Affirms students’ identities and utilizes funds of knowledge; 3) Works to eliminate historically oppressive practices; and 4) Redresses opportunity gaps.
These are the slides that you created at the beginning of the year.
Bridge to Practice
The purpose of this bridge to practice is for you to continue to use a high-level comprehension task, a quick write to essay task, an analysis task, or a planned conversation as a Test of Change.
To complete this bridge to practice, do the following:
Continue to work with your improvement team to draft a high-level task in response to the next text that you'll be working with in the curriculum. If you need support working as a team to plan the task, this document might serve as a useful resource. Remember, even if you are planning for an analysis task, you should still begin with comprehension.
Then, work with your school improvement team to decide how you’ll study the enactment of the task (will you look at student work? Will you use exit slips?).
Use your task with students and collect a sample of student work.
Finally, come back together with your improvement team to study the student work and decide next steps (Adapt, Adopt, Abandon!).
Please be prepared to share how this work went when we meet together in February.
