PG PLT Meeting 11/19/2014

We will collect data on Unit 4 by the end of this week.  Therefore, we will not determine who will be assigned to RtI for that unit until 12/3.  This will give those in RtI for Unit 3 a chance to finish their retakes.

We looked at examples of contextual problems that may be similar to those found on the PARCC exam.

We also investigated practice PARCC exams to better understand how our students will be assessed.
