This year my focus for my ICDP goal is going to be guided reading. I feel like I've focused on math instruction a lot in past years and need to spend time focusing on reading instruction. Last year I was able to dabble in Literacy Footprints with my online students and then when I moved back onsite, I was able to continue. I want my guided reading groups to be calm and intentional. I want the kids to walk away with a love for reading and writing and having grown in their abilities everyday. Looking at Leveled Benchmark data from the end of the year last year, I have quite a few 1st graders that did not meet end of year goal in Kindergarten. I will be taking the Literacy Footprint Guided Reading class once a month with Jenn Burns and Erin Klopstad. I will be using Next Steps Teacher's Guide to Guided Reading text along with videotaping myself working with students and digging deeper into the why and how of each piece of a guided reading lesson. I will know students have been impacted by this goal when I do the Jan Richardson Leveling Benchmark at the end of the year and students will have grown at least 1 year or met the end of year goal.
