Continuum of Services – Erin Shea The TST Continuum of Services Work Group produced a multi-document resource to provide a visual graphic tool of the OSY path through the MEP Cycle: Narrative – explains the purpose of the tool and how different pieces are used. OSY Cycle in the MEP – a one-page visual graphic tool outlining the cycle, includes live links to resources. OSY Educational Outcomes Tables – assists in placing a student in the appropriate instructional quadrant and includes live links to resources. OSY Educational Resource Rubric – lists every GOSOSY resource and material available via the OSYMigrant.org website and other outside sources that have been vetted/recommended and includes live links to resources. Instructional Support Video – Lindsay Ickes The TST Curriculum Work Group produced a video to support all staff, particularly those without formal education training, in administering the SOSOSY Mini Lessons. The video will be re-branded with OSY Migrant logos, wording to maintain consistency. The video will be edited to include a clear statement about lessons being available in both English and Spanish, but will emphasize that the goal of the lessons is to teach life skills more than vocabulary. The video will be edited to address the non-graded Question 6 on post-assessments. OSY English Language Screener – Brenda Pessin This tool was designed to use as needed across the states to determine language proficiency in newly recruited students. The video was improved to elaborate on instruction and scoring. Staff must be careful to refer to the tool as a “screener” and not an “assessment”. SOSOSY created it as a tool to drive instruction, and it is not intended to be used as a progress monitoring instrument. This is now clarified in the screener instructions. OSY Training Wiki – Sonja Williams The TST saw value in getting Training Modules online for new staff and also as refreshers for those already trained. Wiki was determined to be the most efficient format. Training Wiki has two modules completed. Video and/or audio components will be included. Sonja will send URL and invite to all TST members. SOSOSY Quality of Implementation Index The QII was produced during Year 3 for the purpose of focusing on implementation. Created to rate materials with a goal of 4 out of 5.
