Meeting on Tuesday, the 25th

Hi, All. Our next meeting will be Tuesday morning at 7:45.

I left a copy of an article Anne gave to me on Friday regarding SSR. Please read it, and we will discuss it on Tuesday morning.

I am hoping that Mia can give us an update on the AP vertical planning. We will need to discuss common assessments and specifically what skills we would like students to master at each grade level.

Also, we need to discuss teaching tier 2 vocabulary.

Lastly, we will continue looking at the regents data from last year.

Thank you!

Meeting on 11/18

Today we discussed the following:

1. Vocabulary list--a list of vocabulary from different courses is being compiled.

2. Spelling bee--We will be working on preliminary assessments for an upcoming spelling bee.

3. We began to assess last year's Regents exam to determine, based on student results, what steps we need to take to improve student performance.

Please be ready at the next meeting to discuss other areas you see students' needing to improve on and best practices to share. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 25th, at 7:45 in room 305.

Thank you!

Cheryl

Vocabulary and Data analysis

Hi, Team!

I have placed a request in teachers' mailboxes asking for vocabulary that is important to their subject area, or that they find students struggling with and it is something that crops up repeatedly. I'm hoping that teachers will respond to this and we can work on incorporating some of this vocabulary into our instruction.

Also, I've completed a data analysis of the unsuccessful regents exams from last year. We will be able to look at the types of questions missed and share ways to increase our best practices.

If you can't make the next meeting, please check the blog and hopefully I will have a second meeting so that more members can attend.

Thank you!
Cheryl

Next meeting

Hope all is going well with everyone. I do want to schedule another meeting. I'd like to meet on Tuesday, November 18th at 7:45 in Room 305. Hopefully I will have some data from last year's English Regents to share. We will be going over strategies for getting the students ready for the Regents this year, as well as continuing our discussion from the last meeting.

Please add to the comment section if there is something else you'd like to cover.
