Harford County Public Schools – State Discretionary Grant – HSA FY10
What it looks like:
The Boundless Learning Co-Teaching model is aligned with the MD Co-Teaching Framework. This initiative is a key
component of an MSDE School Improvement Grant focusing on building a MD Co-Teaching network. HCPS is
committed to implementing this project with fidelity.
This grant initiative focuses on the development and use of structured high performance teaming for students and
teachers. Communication is the emphasis of the collaborative teaming and is facilitated by contact with the district
facilitators as well as CTE staff via the ELC. Principals and co-teaching partners will participate in professional
development offering with an opportunity to become Johns Hopkins School of Education Center of Technology in
Education Co-Teaching Fellows. Webinars are followed up with face to face seminars or electronic PD Boosters related
to content. District Facilitators and school administrators receive feedback relative to progress via monthly status checks
and quarterly fidelity checks. Data is gathered, summarized and reported to the staff and used in the decision-making
process. Non-evaluative observations with feedback provide coaching and growth opportunities. Regular collaboration
among participants ensures ongoing dialogue relative to instruction, enhanced practice, data analysis and problemsolving.
The Class Profile Matrix is one of the Boundless Learning tools designed by CTE to help teachers organize instructional
accommodations and teacher-selected interventions to support student learning. This tool facilitates implementation of
accommodations, including the use of assistive technology, and differentiation according to students’ needs. The Class
Profile Matrix also supports collaboration between general and special educators by providing a working document to
discuss students’ goals, needs, and progress.
Professional competence
In order for teachers to effectively design instruction, they must be armed with essential information regarding the
composition of their class and the students’ individual learning needs. Educators need to be able to monitor students’
performance, identify needs in relation to grade-level standards and goals, generate objectives that facilitate goal
attainment, select instructional strategies to enhance student performance, and assess the efficacy of the strategies
employed. Boundless Learning tools facilitate this process of data-driven decision - making and instructional planning.
