Discussed how students are doing in RtI.
We discussed adopting the Algebra 1 policy that a retake can only raise a student's grade to 70% (or 15% higher than their original...whichever is higher). This sends the message that the original test matters and that improvement is still available. We like this idea, but need to discuss further whether missing homework will still result in a replacement or an average of the two grades.
We discussed timelines. All will be assessing unit 2 by the end of the week. We will assign student to RtI at our next meeting.

PG PLT Meeting 9/23/15
We discussed RtI; which students are succeeding, which are struggling, which are not taking advantage of the opportunity. We will use this information to better decide who gets assigned to RtI for future standards.
We discussed Standard 1.1. Some strategies that were successful for multiple formative assessments and using wax paper to allow students to draw and redraw on the figure.
We discussed the new cumulative assessments. The quarter 1 assessment is ready to be given and should be given before the next progress report. We discussed the pros and cons of making future cumulative assessments on a single quarter or the entire year. We decided to focus on each quarter, but include a limited amount of questions on previous standards.
We looked at the 3-Act Math tasks and discussed whether we could tie this in with Common Core Practice Standard 3. We will trial this the the Pythagorean Theorem taco cart problem. We will try this after we complete unit 2.

PG PLT Meeting 9/16/15
A comprehensive assessment for units 1 and 2 was created. We discussed the validity of the assessment. We decided to give the assessment about a week after the unit 2 exam. This is being treated as a retention assessment. As such, we will not review for this exam. It will be counted as a test, with no retakes.
We discussed our policy of who to refer to RtI. We continue to strive to find ways to assign students who will most benefit from this intervention. As such, we are stressing that students who do not put in the effort will not be assigned. We used this criteria to assign students to RtI for unit 1 standards.
