Vertical Team PLCs
ELA
- Monthly, bring and analyze student work to determine needs and track progress towards our goal of 80% proficiency--need to refine this goal. What work are we bringing? Are we planning this in advance? Is there something specific the 6 of us can commit to doing with regularity and then use this time to evaluate student performance and next steps?
- By May 2020, have a Bally Writing Policy and Plan in place to support writing in all content areas--need to refine this goal to create some mini-goals. What will you DO monthly to create the plan?
Math
- Complete CUBES word problems 4 times per week and complete 1 written writing prompt per unit explaining how to correctly solve a math problem with appropriate vocabulary.
- At least weekly, use CASE question bank to administer checks to maintain rigor of priority standards/calibrate.
Science
- Implementation of 3D instruction daily as evidenced in lesson plans.
- Collaboratively write summative assessments that measure mastery of disciplinary core ideas through the practices and cross-cutting concepts.
Social Studies
- Collaborate with one other content area to implement one authentic literacy assignment.--this goal needs some revision. How are we collaborating? What are we doing? What is the authentic assignment? One for the year?
- Per Unit, our team will incorporate inquiry practices (questioning, investigating, using evidence, communicating conclusions/claims) into disciplinary content. How? When? How often?
