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.
