Approving Principal: M Reynolds			Presentation Date: Jan 6, 2014
Grade Level: 2nd & 3rd	Facilitator: K Grimsley	Location: GES		Start Time: 9:00	End-Time: 10:00
Learner-Centered Activity	Purpose	Description		Steps	Estimated Time
Review most recent benchmark data (broken down by teacher) and list the 3 lowest and the 3 highest areas.	Teachers are looking at their own data and finding their strong and weak areas.	Each teacher will bring his or her print out from Aware (our data tool). They will look at individual TEKs and list their 3 strongest and their 3 weakest TEKs.		Print benchmark data List 3 strongest and 3 weakest areas	10-15 minutes
As a grade level, compare and compile your strongest and weakest TEKs.	Teachers can see where they are similar and different regarding their strengths and weaknesses.	As a group, the teachers will take turns sharing their findings. They will compile a list to share with the other grade level.		Come together Take turns sharing findings Compile a list	15 minutes
The whole group, lead by the facilitator, will review findings and share strategies for improving these areas.	Teachers will gain knowledge from each other regarding new techniques or strategies to use when teaching specific TEKs.	As a group, we will look at weak areas, chances are, someone was strong in that area. We will share out strategies and techniques to try.		Look at the first weak area. Ask if anyone had this as a strength. Share out strategies and techniques. Teachers take notes. Repeat for each weak area.	30 minutes
