I was just saying that the month hasn't been going by that fast, but since it's been 10 days since I last posted, I guess I will have to rethink that view.
It's taken three weeks, but I finally figured out the testing matrix for the reading portion of RTI. All it took as a conference call with the creator, becuase it IS backwards (still no reason why!) and there are two "first"s because they are meant to be done simulteanously. Again, why they are in separate boxes listed in a linear continum that seems to indicate a progression is not explained why. But I do understand what I need have people do, so good 'nough.
The teacher who was hired to teach these reading intervention courses seems a little disconcerted that there isn't really a set curriculum, but there is. Basically, we have all these curriculum books that must be used, but they're not a planned curriculum. He'll have to cobble them together. While I don't have reservations that he can do this, it can be daunting. Especially when considering the amount of monitoring of student progress that has to go on.
My goals for today are to get grading done (how can it already be piling up?), complete the proposal for additional math "helpers" and get them going on their monitoring system and possibly vacuum.
