In 2016 I was appointed as the first grade team leader. In this role I lead weekly collaborative team meetings as well as weekly data meetings. I helped to implement “Words Their Way” a word study program designed to help student better understand phonics and spelling. I had used this program at my previous school and was glad to have the chance to help my teammates understand the process. Through this program we saw our students spelling and phonics knowledge increase. During weekly data meetings I guided my team to look deeper into their weekly and quarterly data. Through this process we noticed that our students struggled with certain concepts such as questioning, understanding main idea, skip counting, addition and subtraction. We used this information to help guide our whole and small group
