What I really want to know is...

What am I tring to do? The only thing I know for sure is that I am trying to do justice by all kids. But to reframe the question so it is about student learning...

What is the range of my students and where do they need to go? Where are Jasper, Sophia and Theodore at this point? Where do they need to go? What do they know at this point? How do I know? What do I need to teach these different students and their leveled groups?


What I really want to know is...
What piece of it matters most to me? Is it the instruction? is it the feedback to the students? Is it the scope and sequence of my curriculum? I had the feeling running records would not be the right kind of data because I want to go beyond their reading level and comprehension piece. I don't even know if what I am trying to do, anymore.
