 * 3) Response to Intervention**
 * The Fairfield Elementary Schools' implementation of Standards-Based Report (SBR) cards has provided a vehicle for smooth transitions in the conversations by educators about RTI. After a horizontal and vertical alignment process with the Iowa and Common Core, the SBRs were created. Teachers naturally moved to conversations about assessment practices. We now use data to write "target plans" for students who demonstrate need for additional support. The target plans are reviewed in collaborative team meetings.

Special Education Math Progress Monitoring Probes Working with other districts to develop math progress monitoring systems. http://kellyschloss.wikispaces.com/SpEd
 * 7) Special Education**
 * During my work with AEA, I developed K-6 math inventories. They are administered similar to Basic Reading Inventories, with a Form A given in the fall and spring, and a Form B administered mid-year. It was apparent to me very early during my first year as principal, that special education math goals were weakly written, and progress monitoring systems were not robust like they often are for reading. The special education teachers and I started working on a system for using the District Math Inventories (DMI) to provide data for goal writing, and developing progress monitoring probes which can be given every other week to monitor student progress toward their goals.
 * After three years of development with teachers in the Fairfield School District, I decided to share the system with other districts. The item above is the wiki that I used for the class framework.
 * In addition to revolutionizing the framework for targeting mathematics with IEP students, I have developed a deep understanding of special education issues and processes. My mother is a closet accordion player, and I'm a closet special education nerd.
