In fact, it is the foundation on which a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is built. MTSS offers an organizational framework that focuses on key priorities and allows us to make certain that every child receives the support needed to succeed. Putting this system in place, however, requires dedication, intentionality, and leveraging how time is spent during the school day. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">The creation of an effective school schedule is a key component of every principal\u2019s work. While creating a schedule requires a team approach, the responsibility ultimately falls on each building\u2019s instructional leader. This can be daunting. For example, there is value in creating and sustaining professional learning communities, but finding the time for teachers to engage in this important work can be a struggle. Additionally, research has shown the necessity of uninterrupted blocks of literacy instruction, especially in the early grades, but how do we go about holding this time sacred?\u00a0 \u201cWithin the school schedule resides the power to address problems and to facilitate the successful implementation of effective instructional practices\u201d through &#8220;supportive structures [including]:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Common planning time;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Common teaching time;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Common time for intervention and enrichment;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Special service personnel scheduled in tandem with general education colleagues; and<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Extended planning time provided for teams on an occasional basis&#8221; (Rettig, 2007).<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Wayne RESA welcomes Dr. Michael D.

The Governor has done her research; Jim Knight (2012) noted that schools with coaches show a 95% increase in teachers using new instructional strategies in their classrooms. In an effort to meet the professional learning needs of literacy coaches, the MAISA GELN Early Literacy Task Force, with unremitting support from Erin Brown and Dr. Susan L&#8217;Allier, have created a series of Intensive Literacy Coaching Institutes.&nbsp; Throughout the state, the Institutes have been offered to literacy coaches as a way to hone their skills in an authentic setting, giving coaches an opportunity to work directly with teachers and students. Erin Brown explains, &#8220;The benefits [&#8230;] are numerous and the supports [created] across the four days together are meaningful and lasting.&#8221; While the framework of the Coaching Intensive is tied to the<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/literacyessentials.org\/literacy-essentials\/the-essentials\/essential-instructional-practices-for-elementary-literacy\/\">Essential Coaching Practices for Elementary Literacy<\/a><\/em>, the opportunity to hear from key researchers about a particular practice from the <a href=\"https:\/\/literacyessentials.org\/literacy-essentials\/the-essentials\/essential-instructional-practices-in-early-literacy-grades-k-to-3\/\"><em>Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy<\/em><\/a>, reinforced through professional reading, gives literacy coaches an opportunity to consider why the strategy is essential as well as how to help teachers implement it in their classrooms. Furthermore, in collaborating with others over the course of the Coaching Intensive, coaches are able to build connections and form a supportive community of learners. Wayne RESA is proud to have four trained facilitators who have held two Coaching Intensives in Wayne county exclusively for Wayne county literacy coaches. Currently, two more Coaching Intensives are planned for the spring in an effort to continue to build capacity and sustainability in coaches and district coaching models. A unique feature of the Wayne county Coaching Intensives has been to add a mentorship program; this program offers individualized professional learning through which one of our facilitators continues to work with a coach on a particular goal. This layered system of support has been critical to the success of literacy coaches, and in the words of one of the participants, coaches often leave with &#8220;a much better sense of [themselves] as a coach.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-177b985 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"177b985\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64058b6\" data-id=\"64058b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d5d20b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2d5d20b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Statewide Updates<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7d6e3ad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7d6e3ad\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0a4a729\" data-id=\"0a4a729\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7176b00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7176b00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\">Wayne RESA, in collaboration with the Disciplinary Literacy Task Force, is hosting two\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smore.com\/1uahn-essential-practices\">one-day regional institutes<\/a>\u00a0designed to generate an initial understanding and awareness of disciplinary literacy and the <a href=\"https:\/\/literacyessentials.org\/literacy-essentials\/the-essentials\/essential-instructional-practices-for-disciplinary-literacy-grades-6-to-12\/\"><em>Essential Practices for Disciplinary Literacy Instruction in the Secondary Classroom<\/em><\/a> document.

While each prisoner had different circumstances, the common thread was an inability to procure proper legal representation. Stevenson&#8217;s selflessness, accompanied by his relentless work ethic, led to the relief of countless prisoners. His work also influenced penal law, such as the elimination of death penalty charges for children and the mentally ill.

Yet, the Common Core Standards have urged educators to consider the discipline-specific ways experts and their apprentices communicate. Thus, as instruction shifts from the &#8220;sage on the stage&#8221; to encouraging students to read, write, think, and speak like disciplinary experts, perhaps no one will play a more important role than the literacy coach. These four scholars provide secondary level coaches with a model, strategies, tips and resources to effect positive change in essential instructional practices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

While many citizens dutifully complete the questionnaire, some resist. A recent study revealed &#8220;five barriers that might prevent people from participating in the census: concerns about data privacy and confidentiality, fear of repercussions, distrust in all levels of government, feeling that it doesn\u2019t matter if you are counted, and belief that completing the census might not benefit you personally&#8221; (CBAMS, 2019). Yet, the results of the census have political, educational, and economic implications, which is why the U.S. Census Bureau has spent the past two years and millions of dollars on a campaign to educate citizens, particularly underrepresented populations, about its importance. From live Facebook events to toolkits for community challenges, the U.S. Census Bureau has tried to reach across numerous outlets to send its very simple message: Be counted.
