What: Teachers will use Tracking Not Watching to collect data, make in-the-moment decisions about next steps, and hold students accountable for work expectations.

​

How:

  1. Create a coding system
  2. Create a Tracking Sheet
  3. Have an Exemplar in Hand
  4. Name the Lap
  5. Circulate & Give Feedback
  6. Take Data and Use it!

Possible Misconception

Some teachers stop and give lengthy individual intervention during circulation.

​

What is the risk of spending too much time with individual students during Tracking not Watching? What could be done instead?

Create a coding system - Take 5 minutes to discuss and create a coding system that will be posted in your room. You could make a code for actions such as:

  • Correct - keep going
  • Check your work- redo point of error
  • Process Checklist (RACE or CASE)

​

​

​

Step 1

20 of 32

Create a Tracking Sheet

  • Make an open ended template to record data

​

​

Step 2

21 of 32

Have an Exemplar in Hand

  • Know what you are looking for
    • Strategies
    • Potential misconceptions
    • What mastery looks like

​

​

Step 3

22 of 32

Name the Lap

  • Name what you are looking for
    • Procedural “I am looking for your (heading, RACE/CASE at top page, PV chart, textbook open and cornell note setup, etc.)
    • Content “I am looking for (an annotated model, thesis statement, citation, topic sentence, number sentence, etc.)

​

​

Step 4

Circulate & Give Feedback

  • Circulate the room using an intentional flightpath
  • Mark student work with coding system
  • Give brief and helpful feedback
  • Repeat

​

​

Step 5

Take Data and Use it!

  • Use your tracker to record student data
    • Use data to pivot in the moment
    • Use data to determine reteach or intervention plan

For practice today we will use our

Navigator tracker which includes:

​

  • Names of students
  • Standard or skill
  • Misconception
  • Action plan

​

Practice

​

Read the directions in your participant handout and practice tracking not watching in math.

Repeat the practice with the ELA practice problem.

​

​

Give your facilitator feedback every time!
