Tracking Focal Student Progress

January 2013

My area of Inquiry/Inquiry Question is: The focus of my inquiry is to support reading comprehension for the English Language Learners in my classroom through the Teacher’s College Reading Workshop model. I am specifically focusing on student comprehension during read alouds.

My routine data source is: Student thinking conveyed through “stop and jot” notes which utilize sentence frames to help support phrasing and thinking.

Demonstrating Success: Reflect on what evidence you see in the routine data source that tells you how your student is or is not progressing on the indicators.

Indicators	Student Name Luz 2/6/2013	Student Name Bianca 2/6/2013
I: Students can make connections or inferences to the text beyond what is literally there.	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “The character Peter is feeling sad because maybe they don’t care about him.” “It seems like Peter is sad and mad because he think’s that fudge is going to be famouse.”	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “Peter is jealous because Mr. Venson choosed Fudge to ride the toddle bike in the comershal channel.” “ME TOO! I can relate to the character Fudge because my brother wants the best thing first than the next thing they are going to give him.” “I wonder if fudge is going to do something wrong because he is so litte to be in a comershal channel.”
II: Students can cite evidence from the text to support their thinking.	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “It seems like Peter is sad and mad because he think’s that fudge is going to be famouse.”	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “It seems like peter is going to have an Idea because Fudge is going to ride the toddle bike in the comirshal.” “Peter is jealous because Mr. Venson choosed Fudge to ride the toddle bike in the comershal channel.” “ME TOO! I can relate to the character Fudge because my brother wants the best thing first than the next thing they are going to give him.” “I wonder if fudge is going to do something wrong because he is so litte to be in a comershal channel.”
III: Students can find an appropriate place in the text to stop and think.	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “The character Peter is feeling sad because maybe they don’t care about him.” “It seems like Peter is sad and mad because he think’s that fudge is going to be famouse.”	☐Met ☐Not met  ☐ Partially Evidence/How can you tell? “Peter is jealous because Mr. Venson choosed Fudge to ride the toddle bike in the comershal channel.” “ME TOO! I can relate to the character Fudge because my brother wants the best thing first than the next thing they are going to give him.” “I wonder if fudge is going to do something wrong because he is so litte to be in a comershal channel.”
