CCRS Quarterly Meeting #1...Success!

Yesterday, Region 4 facilitated CCRS Quarterly Meeting 1 for the LEAs in our region. The day was off to a great start with Ms. Phyllis Montalto delivering our opening session. After opening session, each LEA had an opportunity to meet with their team members for team planning. During this time, LEAs reflected upon last year's CCRS Awareness phase and moving into this year's phase of CCRS Implementation. Once the team planning session one ended, it was content delivery time. 

ARI and AMSTI delivered the different content sessions to participants. Each content session had specific outcomes participants would meet. Just to name a few: ELA Grades K-5 gained a deeper understanding of the Tri-State Quality Rubric for analyzing and planning lessons and units; ELA Grades 6-12 determined how a high quality lesson addresses the College-and Career-Ready Standards with specific emphasis on the Speaking and Listening Standards; Content Literacy Grades 6-12 deconstructed lesson plans to assess the potential for student learning; and Mathematics Grades K-12 described practices that teachers can learn in order to facilitate discourse more effectively. Thank you to all for a great day of learning. We know that Alabama Region 4 students are going to be College and Career Ready with all of your support.
