Staff were put into groups that had 1 Intermediate Teacher, 1 Primary Teacher, 1 Learning Resource Teacher, and 1 Educational Assistant.  In these break our groups they  looked at all responses for our student survey that was collated in a shared excel spreadsheet. They the followed these steps;

• Chose a person to navigate the recording sheet, excel sheet and to document your work (on screen share)
• Download the working document and the master excel sheet from the portal post
• Cooperatively select a question you want to look at the evidence for.  *Use your interviews to support this decision
• Keep in mind:  What will make the biggest difference?  
• Read through the evidence together.
• Using information from the scan, identify a common area/theme that emerges for your team to work on.
• Move your evidence onto the recording page.  Be selective - you don’t need to include all the quotes support your inquiry.  
• Keep in mind:  What will have the biggest impact?
• Summarize your discussion and rationale
• Select a person to share out once we return.

THe staff worked with thousands of studetnd responses.  They focused in using this log sheet to organize a capture their work.

*See completed recording sheets below.

During their working sessions Ms. Ludwig also documented some of their conversations:

Group 5 - We noticed:

Our scanning Quesiton is:  

• School supplies… TL Learners… it came up a lot - a need to feel a sense of belonging.
• Kids needing a better understanding as learners.
• The learner piece - what kind of learn am I?  Intelligences? 
• Understand themselves a bit more as a LEARNER.  What are my needs as a learner.
• Advocate for themselves.
• How do learn best?   Give them examples…

Group 4 - Scan evidence share

Our scanning Quesiton is:  

• Our learners need help to get into green zone
• Intermediate students seemed to have strategies that they could name.
• But can they put them into action?  We do not have evidence for that.
• Whereas, primary students could not seem to name strategies.  More friends and teachers as supports.
• We wonder what is happening with our kids at home?

Group 1&3 - Scan evidence share

Our scanning Quesiton is:  

• Self compassion piece - modelling, teaching - need more of.  They are har on themselves.
• How to deal with daily life is a struggle
• Reading seems to be a coping strategy 
• Play is needed for coping and development
• Math - seems to be a link for success. Why is this a marker?
• Unstructured time

Group 2 - Scan evidence share

Our scanning Quesiton is:  

• What do we do as a community to have strategies in place?
  Looking at collective routines….ie exercise… stop drop and read
• Unstructured  play time
• Soft starts…this was named
• Academics - mastery and independence - a link to coping
• What can we do as a community together?  Not just in classrooms.
