Provided the MEAP data as evidence of our areas of need. Provided time to do some in depth analysis of their grade level
GLCEs in our focus area. Trained in Marzano’s strategies, specifically focusing in on

lessons on the focus GLCEs, using the teaching strategy compare and contrast.
Accountable for the delivery of those lessons and collaboration with staff at future staff meetings.
