CONTINUED CULTURE OF CAREPD

Quick Review – Plan A vs Plan C

Most of the time, teachers are entering a:

• Plan A – You addressed the matter yourself
• Plan C – You didn’t have time to address the matter or you choose not to engage with the student about this situation

One required field that is very important is:  Would you like a member of the Coordinated Care Team to follow up with the student? *  

A “Yes” will result in a CCT Response Form with administrative actions.  A “No” indicates that this is just a FYI and that no admin response is requested.

Observation Entry Time Saving Tips

1.  Don’t fill out the form immediately when  you send a student out of your room. Instead, send an email to Wendy/Paul/Nole (all three!) that a student is on his/her way to the office and that an Observation Form will follow.  Fill out the form before the end of the day (ideally) but please no later than 24 hours.
2. Instead of filling out multiple forms with the same information (like kids being disrespectful to a guest teacher).  Fill out one form and include all of the other students names in the narrative text. Nole/Paul will copy and paste the entry for the other students.
3. Most of the data entry fields are NOT required.  Although the drop down questions about when an incident occurred helps us a lot, if the time it takes to answer these questions frustrates you then skip them.

FOCUSED NOTE-TAKING Students utilize the focused note-taking process to create powerful study tools. They are not just copying down words. Students learn to recognize the most important parts of a lesson, create questions to guide their studying, and revisit/refine/re-touch their notes to solidify learning.
