We discussed timelines. We will do Algebra review for the remainder of this week and begin Unit 1 next week.
We discussed ways to use Chromebooks more for formative assessments. Quizlet and Google forms were discussed. Plane Geometry U will pilot Quizlet in Unit 1 and share their successes in a future meeting. Some activities that were used last year successfully by individual teachers have been put on the shared drive for use this year. Ways to work around issues with the Chromebooks and programs like Flash were shared. We will continue to compile ways to effectively use Chromebooks.
We would also like to compile 20-minute, multi-step questions.
We discussed having students write questions that they think they would put on a test. As a PLT, we could see which topics they prioritize and include some of them on the unit assessment.
We decided on local and school/district data goals.
Local Goal: 70% or more of the Plane Geometry students will show proficiency in 80% or more of the Plane Geometry standards.
School/District Goal: We will also have students create problems for other students to solve. Our goal is to see a growth from 38% to 60% of students responding on the 5 Essentials Survey reporting that they do the skill at least once a month.

PG PLT Meeting 8/22/14
Looked at proposed changes from last year.
We will change the order of units, with the quadrilateral unit moving from the 4th to the 6th unit to better flow and make certain that prerequisites will be covered in previous units.
Homework policies were discussed and we decided to not make any changes. Late assignments will not be counted for credit. Also, re-take grades will continue to replace the original grade if a student has all assignments in (even f they are late), but will be averaged with the original, if not.
Since the intervention room will be used for Geometry as well, we need to be conscious of who will best benefit from being assigned to RtI.
For students not assigned to RtI, we will still allow re-takes to be taken on their own with the math tutor, if all their assignments are in.
We proposed using PLT time to create 20 minute questions and having students write questions for others to solve.
