Moses MS Department Meetings
October 23, 2013
I enjoyed our Dept. Meetings yesterday. I really appreciate the collaboration and solution driven meetings when we meet together!
Below is a summary of what we discussed.
Friday, Oct. 25th Events
- 9:00 Assembly
- 10:00 Instructional Design Team
- Due date for all photo forms to be flagged in Infinite Campus
RTI
- Close files if students are doing well and passing
- Open files for any student not passing, except for those that are "sitting on the fence" and 6th graders. We will wait to see how they are doing at the 4.5 weeks point of this grading period.
- Interventions should be taking place with students on RTI at least 2-3 times a week.
- Make sure you are collecting data on the interventions you doing.
- Teachers would like an ED Plan "hot sheet"...Larry will work on this for everyone.
Academic Detention
Academic Detention was discussed for students that refused to complete work during class time or for homework. Points to remember:
- Use your professional judgement about each student's situation.
- Try things like a working lunch or homeroom time to get students to complete assignments.
- Contact parents when the problem is chronic.
- If parents have been contacted and other strategies have been tried...then you may consider afterschool academic detention.
Technology
- Turn BYOT signed forms into Leah
- WI-FI user id-"guest" and password-"paulding10"
- Go over BYOT policies in 3rd period
- Students can only use technology when directed by the teacher for educational purposes
