I have to say it has been a while because I hit a wall in my project. The videotaping went well. My colleagues were very supportive, despite being volunteered for the project. However once I started to fill out my rubric I started to get discouraged. What I listed on my rubric was based on what research told me were elements of a good math Tier I and II program. I’m having a hard time filling it out since some of the elements are missing. For example, the teachers do not have lesson plans for their Tier I interventions. No lesson plans means no listed objective. When I talked with them to get an understanding of how they create their lessons, both teachers told me that they base it on what the student didn’t learn from last week. They use weekly assessments that can be teacher made or come from the math book. So the Tier I is more of a tutoring session for a recent concept rather than planned intervention with one set goal. This is making it hard to record the data and I think I may have to rethink my rubric. What do you think?
