REEL Teaching and Learning Institute

The REEL Teaching and Learning Institute is a series of professional development days for teachers and administrators designed to refine the expertise of staff in the process of identifying the needs of students based on campus data. Using the data, the campus then focuses on planning, instruction and assessment to rapidly improve student performance. The Institute encompasses five non-consecutive days of training, practice and evaluation, including training in coaching and mentoring designed to develop competent teacher leaders.


 

REEL Administrators Coaching and Mentoring

The REEL Administrators Coaching and Mentoring Initiative for instructional leaders is an intensive support system that focuses on specific leadership elements critical to the success of the campus. Based on real-time data, structured meetings are facilitated by experienced, successful mentors / administrators to assist in developing reflective conversations within the organization as well as to identify and discuss best practices. Accountability is monitored and supported.


 

 

REEL Campus Behavior Intervention Success Strategies

The REEL Campus Behavior Intervention Success Strategies (CBISS) provides campuses with a research-based Response to Intervention (Tier II) alternative to In-School Suspension that empowers students with the skills necessary for improved social/emotional connections and optimal success in the classroom. This comprehensive approach emphasizes effective instructional practices, social skills training, reflective writing, service learning, daily counseling, parent involvement, and data-driven decision making. CBISS includes continuous coaching and support. Time tested results include a reduction in discipline referrals, increased attendance, increased graduation rates and improvement in the areas of rigor and engagement. Additional CBISS Models Include: DAEP, Campus Transition and Readiness and Elementary Classroom Management Models. Evaluation Research

 

REEL Teaching Information System

The REEL Teaching Information System is a process of classroom walk-throughs designed to provide just-in-time data to administrative and instructional staff to improve the quality of leadership decisions, increase the efficient and effective use of resources and intellectual capacity, and create a foundation for the development of professional learning communities. Improvements are developed and implemented from collaborative discussions and planning rather than on assumptions of what is going on in the classroom. Information is entered into a customized web-based system allowing for unlimited research and reporting opportunities. The system includes training for administrators in the walk-through process and managing/optimizing the data. Evaluation Research
