Help support Ms. Tipton's Classroom

The pandemic has caused the loss of many writing skills that students will need as they prepare for high school. In order to help our students recover and master these skills, we have implemented something called Write Like a Champion. Write Like a Champion is designed to assess student writing, collect data on specific writing skills, and collaborate to provide appropriate interventions. While we have seen a lot of success in our efforts, providing our students with the accommodations that they need is difficult with limited technology. Because my laptop is often used to display materials and resources, I am often limited as to what I can do while connected to a chord and projector. This tablet will provide the features and mobility for me to give my students assistance quickly and efficiently while they use the computer to display resources and complete digital lessons. It can often be difficult for my English Learners and students identified in special education to access grade level texts and progress in our Write Like a Champion work. Through the tablet I will be able to quickly provide my students with differentiated texts, translated materials, and other resources quickly and discreetly. Having this resource will also allow me to collect data quickly and provide students with immediate feedback that they can make use of right away. My SMART Goal Is: 70% or more of our students will be writing at Level 3 or further by the end of the 2nd quarter. 85% of our students will be writing at Levels 3 and 4 by the end of the 2021-2022 school year. Standards: Anchor Standard: W 6.2, 7.2, 8.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts and information through the selection, organization and analysis of relevant content.
