Monitoring the Needs of All Students The administrative team that helps monitor student needs includes Reese Elementary's principal, vice principal, school psychologist, special ed staff, speech therapist, Title I staff, and reading and math coaches. During "Co-op Meetings" once per trimester, each teacher meets with this administrative team to look at every piece of assessment data on each child in the teacher's classroom. The team uses a matrix, which has the assessment results on one side and various interventions on the other. The teacher fills this matrix out for every child in the class in advance of this meeting. The team then makes decisions about each child. Does this student need an intervention? Is the current intervention working for this student? Does this student need more challenge? If this student is an English Learner, what services are being provided? The team is able to complete one co-op meeting in 30 minutes and 12 co-op meetings a day. The school hires a rotating substitute for co-op meeting days to cover each class while the teacher meets with the administrative team. Those teachers who meet after school are able to get a half-hour of release time on another day, if they so choose. While the focus is mainly on academics, the team also discusses other barriers to the child's success, as well as available resources. The teachers appreciate these meetings because they lead to fast action rather than allowing children to slip through the cracks. The administrators value the meetings as an important accountability tool. These data-based meetings help ensure that the needs of each child are being met, whether by intervention or enrichment or otherwise. David Reese Elementary School, Elk Grove Unified School District
