Below are some additional resources  to use as you review your beginning of the year to middle of the year data and set goals for the end of the year.

This App provides purposeful practice for early foundational skills.  All students in K-1 and your 2nd grade students that still need more practice can be using this tool to help them with automaticity.  Practicing skills in a fun, educational manner can help! Have teachers go to our NEW, updated Getting Started with Boost Video for instructions to start today!  If your classroom doesn’t have an iOS device to use, please print out the parent letters and ask parents to provide practice time at home, in the car or while kids are standing in line at the grocery store!

Check out the skills your student could be working on when using Boost!

If you missed it, the Pathways of Progress at Middle of Year Office Hours webinar can be found here and is posted on our website.  The Monitoring Pathways of Progress Growth flowchart is a helpful resource as you review your Pathways of Progress data.  Just a reminder, when discussing student growth and progress at MOY, access individual student progress monitoring information with Pathways of Progress turned on is an important part of the conversation.  For more information on how to do that, check out mCLASS HELP - Pathways on PM Graphs.
