Identification of extra target student for Team Meetings

In a recent team meeting we had to identify other students in our class that we would consider to be target students (apart from those identified at the beginning of the year) and say how these students are being monitored.  We have a number of students that we would say are targets.

Taken from team minutes...

Here’s What, So What, Now What

Let’s go over Writing and Reading - see below and we will discuss these as a team.

We have our targets from the beginning of the year, who else are targets and how are we monitoring them? (These are the students who the teacher identifies as extra targets)  

Teachers to have a look and think about the extra targets and will write in here who they are for Writing

Room M: Brie, Mackenzie, Danielle, Shannon, Kapua, Nathaniel, Styris, William, Alex K, Justis, Nicole, Paige,  Dylan, Kane, Lance, Warren.

Here’s What :

based on current OTJ this students have been identified as being at risk of not meeting the end of year standard.  Within this cohort, there are students capable of meeting the standard.

So What:

A number of students are hindered by a poor attitude to writing.  There are a number that struggle with identifying and using deep language and structural features of different text types. Some students have limited awareness of text types.  Our classroom time constraints are a barrier as well.

Now What:

Continue to use daily scribe time to increase writing mileage.  Analyse and discuss a range of text types to increase word knowledge, identification of language and text features to support students to use in creating their own texts.  

Explicitly teach conventions.  For example, sentence structure.  Subject + verb arrangement.  Use of comma.
