Small-Group Tips • Organize your student seating so that they feel like they are in a small group learning environment or they can easily be moved into a small-group arrangement • Seat yourself so that you are facing student computers and can easily monitor what students are doing • Situate the small-group area as far away from Independent Reading as possible so that your conversations do not disrupt student readers

Does it “Feel” Like a Small-Group?

Software Tips • Ensure that all computers are facing out toward the Small-Group area • Number each computer (or laptop space) and assign students to each space • Provide storage space for headphones/microphones, computer mice • Post a “Plan B” for technology and create a system for students to alert you to technology issues

MONITORING DATA REPORTS

Sample Report Summary Dear Administrator, Attached to this email you will find 2 reports for monitoring your software usage in your IR+ classrooms. These reports show usage for the previous two week time period. Please note the following columns on the attached reports to monitor your software usage as one aspect of program fidelity: Total Sessions/Number of sessions: should equal the number of school days in the last 2 week time period, minus school holidays or disruptions to school schedule around testing, etc. Student attendance can influence this column. If your students are scheduled in IR+ 90 minutes or more on a daily basis, they should have 1 session (day of usage) for each day they are in school Sessions per Week: should be between 3 and 4 during a typical two-week time period without school holidays, disruptions to schedule, etc. During an entire school year, we strive for 3 sessions per week as an average Daily Minutes (only on READ 180 Results Summary Report): should range from 16 -19 for a 90 -minute class. If you have IR+ scheduled for closer to 120 minutes, the daily minutes may be closer to 25 in some classrooms. (note: The Results Summary Report for System 44 does not provide an average of daily minutes. If you wish to spot check, you can divide total minutes by sessions to get an average daily use in minutes. )
