This week Danielle and Sari interview Meghan Mayer, English Language Arts Teacher at Woodland Middle School in Florida. Meghan’s students know she’s going to discuss data with them, but how does she build that strong data culture and expectation? Meghan discusses how she uses previous year’s data at the start of the school year, and how she finds the time to have data chats during the school day, which can be difficult with how many students she has and with a middle school schedule. Data displays can also be tricky given student interests, but Meghan has found a way to engage all students with their data. She explains how she does this in her classroom to ensure all students feel included. Learn about Meghan’s easy-to-replicate weekly routine, and other best practices engaging her middle schoolers!
