This Week's Playlists
FACULTY MEETINGS
We have 2 hours of faculty meetings per month.
- 1 hour is split into four 15 minute meetings once per week on Mondays. If we don't have school on a Monday, we'll meet for 15 minutes after school on Tuesday.
- 1 hour is reserved if we need it for specific content.
Please reserve the following dates for hour-long meetings. Do not schedule anything else during this time.
- March 18 (PLCs and Tiered Vocabulary)
- April 15 (state testing training)
- No meeting in May
Video News Program
We have 4 students working on a video news program. This is the list of students they'll be coming around to videotape during 3rd period. It will be super short and they know the kids cannot be out of class long.
Friday Data Meetings
1. Read FOCUS pp. 28-38 for March 1st---NO MEETING THIS WEEK except for UA. UA--we'll go over the content from February 15th
2. Curriculum Snapshot Review (Standard--Target--Assessment). Bring assessment data from one one of your targets.
TAKEAWAYS FROM FEBRUARY 15th
- When creating the high ELA and Math groups, can we use more than teacher recommendation or single assessment to make the recommendation? We need to create a system for advanced placement that is defendable.
- Using adjectives for our mastery rubric is too subjective. We reviewed that Marzano proficiency scale model for standards based assessment and had positive feedback. Will test the scale with 7th ELA.
- Would it be possible to keep the co-teach and the advanced classes together throughout the day for their cores?
