REEL Support Team

The REEL Support Team develops a system of support for all students, teachers and administrators through team-based problem solving and data-driven decision making. Targeted outcomes:
• To empower “teacher-leaders” at the campus level to create a supportive, productive and equitable campus culture, climate and atmosphere.
• To develop a systematic review of data which impacts student learning with the opportunity to “course-correct” at the campus level to ensure and optimize student success.
• To implement effective interventions to be fairly applied to all students, resulting in an increase in the number of minority and special education students remaining in the regular classroom rather than spending time in alternative settings where educational rigor and engagement are diminished.
• To facilitate a stress reduction environment that will have a positive impact on learning and work to diminish the excessive and overuse of discipline referrals to control student behaviors by replacing them with qualified and sustainable interventions.

 

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 to foster optimal academic 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. Sustainable 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. Evaluation Research

Featured Projects

Secondary School Redesign and Restructuring Project

The purpose of the Redesign and Restructuring project is to provide academically unacceptable middle school and high school campuses with vital resources to implement innovative, school-wide initiatives designed to rapidly improve student performance.

PROS Project

The PROS project is a consequential effort to facilitate the highest level of resources to a district’s most fragile, at-risk student populations to support and sustain active and ongoing school-wide improvement while working to dissuade, minimize and potentially eliminate the disproportional overrepresentation of minorities and special education students placed into alternative education campuses and classrooms.

MMT/MST Online Preparation Project

The purpose of the MMT/MST online preparation project is to ensure that each educator certified has the prerequisite content and professional knowledge necessary to perform satisfactorily in Texas public schools as a Master Mathematics Teacher/Master Science Teacher and to serve as a mentor to other teachers.
