SethJRutledge Feb 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

Good evening #txed Seth from Prosper ready to learn.

mitchells_mavs Feb 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

A1: Each grade level has 30 minutes of ELT as a part of our master schedule. #txed

cmdismuke2 Feb 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

Christina from @dismukesclass, 2nd grade inclusion teacher in Katy, TX! #txed

MrsRussell_WE Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: We have 1 hour built in at the end of the day for 5th gr. No new inst, Ts should pull small groups & do their own intervention. #txed

MathCoachCorner Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: ELT is a time when all learners, whether in classrooms or pull-out, should be receiving differentiated instruction #txed

danperez4ed Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: They have a more focused advisory period. #txed

MandyWendt Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: each grade level has a set time spread out throughout the day so that no times overlap. We have 40 minutes for ELT #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

@danperez4ed tell me more! #txed

oJaison Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: I like to build an archive of resources for students to explore independently. #txed

KarlaMAnderson Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

#txed A1 our campus values ELT time and builds 30 minutes of it for each grade level into our master schedule.

MathCoachCorner Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: We currently only have half an hour. Very difficult with kiddos who need multiple services. #txed

cmdismuke2 Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

@MathCoachCorner Remediation and extension! #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

@MandyWendt What's this look like for kids who need reading and math support? #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

A1-We looked at our master schedule and tried to find at least 30-45 minutes that would not take away from main classroom time #TXed

MrsRussell_WE Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

#txed https://t.co/hKfesj2N2v

MrsRussell_WE Feb 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: Each grade level gets time a slot in the day where acad support Ts pull groups of Ss that are chosen based on data & kid chats #katymath

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg Is it K-5? #txed

kecarr Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

A1: Extended learning time is considered small group and project based learning. I like idea of first hour used across campus 4 all. #txed

MathCoachCorner Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

@cmdismuke2 Exactly! Not "lost instruction", differentiated instruction! #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

@MrsRussell_WE "kid chats" tell me more please! #txed

cheryljglasser Feb 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

A1: 30 minutes per grade level designated for ELT. Pull out groups w interventionists and extra small groups in the classrooms. #txed

oJaison Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

A1: I don't just think of extended learning time as a longer school day or school year. Also extending learning beyond school day. #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

A1: We shave all subjects a bit, so we can find 30 minutes to squeeze it in. It's Mon-Fri for us #txed

MathCoachCorner Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

@kecarr Sounds interesting. How would that work with interventionists? #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

@SethJRutledge Welcome! #txed

Ok, if one more person from Katy joins the chat....jeans passes for everyone 👖 #TXed

1stAguilar Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

#txed our extended learning time is during a 30 min period. No new teaching, differentiated small group intervention only.

teamcorrea Feb 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

Advisory is an excellent idea, students have the option when they know they need support, but I not sure how it works in elementary #txed

cmdismuke2 Feb 10 @ 9:47 PM EST

@MathCoachCorner @kecarr Then most would be ICS vs. pull out? #txed

kecarr Feb 10 @ 9:47 PM EST

@MathCoachCorner however if we use ALL adults (Specials, AP, etc.) in blg. 4 "intervention" at that time; think of the small groups. #txed

@tag527 Jump on in Traci! Glad you are joining us tonight! What's ELT look like on your campus? #txed

MrsRussell_WE Feb 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

A2: Each gr level gets a diff amt of time from 45min to 1hr. 2 grps are pulled in each ELT period so Ss can "double-dip". #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

A2-We have RtI and retracting groups for reading, writing and math. We also have an enrichment group for those above level #TXed

mmurphy1964 Feb 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

@j_rodricks1 I do reading , content mastery teacher does math #TXed

MandyWendt Feb 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

Classroom Ts pull additional groups based on need. Some Ss pulled out. The rest of the Ss work on a menu of things from all contents #txed

j_rodricks1 Feb 10 @ 9:50 PM EST

A2: We use this time for pull out services: dyslexia, speech, academic support, resource time for sped. Classroom Ts keep the rest #txed

mitchells_mavs Feb 10 @ 9:50 PM EST
