The teacher leaders developed sustainable methods
of communicating with their teams three times over the
course of a month: 1) midway through the month, the teacher leaders hand back to their site colleagues copies
of the reflections they wrote at the last meeting and the plans they chose to implement
during the month; 2) Co-principal Maria Carriedo sends an
email to all the teachers a
week before each meeting to remind them to bring their observations
of their focal students; 3) teachers make notes to themselves, in a simple chart form, about the interventions and behaviors they plan to track and keep these on their classroom walls as an easy way to document their focal students» progress.
