Break into small one on one or two and two groups with MS and HS teachers for small group ideas and discussions

# data[].attributes.body
Focusing on CCCs

# data[].attributes.body
We celebrated all we do and trusted that we all play a part.

# data[].attributes.body
Devote time to successful lesson strategies that fully engage students, regardless of the curriculum content

# data[].attributes.body
More opportunities to collaborate like this

# data[].attributes.body
Face to face meetings are the best way to get things accomplished. Everyone in the same room working toward the same goals.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s nice to align common terminology within units to make sure that our students are getting the same vocabulary 6-12. Sometimes there can be confusion on certain topics simply because different teachers have used different terminology each year.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on one CCC at a time and identify things we do to cover them...or notice the gaps that need fillin'

# data[].attributes.body
What the Middle School doing to engage students.

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to do this a couple times a year!

# data[].attributes.body
Add 3 of these next semester instead of just one more

# data[].attributes.body
Snacks

# data[].attributes.body
Give time to continue with our alignment and keep it consistent. Not changing the expectation every year.

# data[].attributes.body
We need more time together to determine a common template and language.

# data[].attributes.body
KEEP GOING! We will need lots of time to get this done. I think as long as we go little by little it will be great!

# data[].attributes.body
There was perhaps too much to do, so our directions varied during the working/discussion. I would recommend we limit our current study to CCCs instead of both CCCs and SEPs.

# data[].attributes.body
I did feel like there was too much breaking off into the plcs we already work with. I would have liked the chance to do small group convos with middle school teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Add PE to the instructional cycle

# data[].attributes.body
continue this process

# data[].attributes.body
Reflect on the points that arose and bring those back to the table next time. Continue to support each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Meet at the end of the year to discuss students that are struggling and not incorporate them all into the same class.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep working the same track.....more

# data[].attributes.body
Discussed potential high-risk students what interventions have worked/recommended

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing comes to mind.

# data[].attributes.body
What our 6-12 team did worked very well. We are ready for the next steps.

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to work together.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really nice to work as a team, looking forward to meeting again.

# data[].attributes.body
It was great to be able to talk face to face instead of being nebulous entities in another building. I was glad we could share our vision all in one room and be able to share our successes as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing

# data[].attributes.body
Meeting with the middle school more often and make sure all of the work is saved in a communal place so it can be shared and work continued even if staff changes or years go by.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need to discuss at the high school level how we can change instruction that account better for what is taught at lower levels.

# data[].attributes.body
snacks.

# data[].attributes.body
keep the momentum going. Don't wait too long to get people together again.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing what/when students learn other subjects in middle school helps me when I am trying to get the kids to recall something from before!

# data[].attributes.body
Great discussions on how we can add more sections of strength in the middle school to the already existing PE curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to ask questions in person with instant feedback instead of through email.

# data[].attributes.body
Time to meet with Middle school staff. Got some clarification from Al about moving forward.

# data[].attributes.body
Give time with groups to show and tell

# data[].attributes.body
Connect w/ 6-12 more frequently

# data[].attributes.body
Continue the process with additional time to meet 6-12. I like having time between 6-12 meetings so grade levels and buildings have time to complete necessary work.

# data[].attributes.body
Go back and look at the skills that we listed and log where we teach them to see where we have gaps.

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss what other teachers do in the field/research other districts.

# data[].attributes.body
Meet with the staff to start the year.

# data[].attributes.body
Really liked Al's kick off.

# data[].attributes.body
Good to hear what was going on with World History instruction at the Middle School.

# data[].attributes.body
Slow & steady wins the race....keep at it. Plan it in and keep coming back to it. I liked the "January to January" concept.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to hear more from the middle school about what they are up to with grammar and what success they are finding.

# data[].attributes.body
Working on curriculum alignment was needed and beneficial!

# data[].attributes.body
We had great 6-12 conversation, set a team plan, and broke into groups by grade/course. We came together at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Good time to strengthen relationships and talk about alignment and consistency in our practices/services.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about some equipment needs of the MS people we can fill.

# data[].attributes.body
Incorporate regularly scheduled 6-12 planning time

# data[].attributes.body
Diving into content w/ smaller groups (grade levels)

# data[].attributes.body
Good time for getting our work done and looking again at the alignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Time to meet with middle school was much appreciated as we move forward with 6-12 alignment. Looking forward to more time to collaborate.

# data[].attributes.body
Smaller Focus area

# data[].attributes.body
Give more time to share those Ideas and methods

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity to collaborate around goals for students.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really nice to hear what was happening content-wise in each building. And to get to know the MS teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to have time with our middle school counterparts to ask questions while planning. It is a slow process.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though we should meet to discuss vertical alignment more often so we actually know where students are coming from and going to.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like each grade level to report out on what a "day in the life" of that class looks like

# data[].attributes.body
The discussion around my new curriculum was productive.

# data[].attributes.body
Reunion with middle school colleagues

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to meet more often

# data[].attributes.body
Smaller focus than the larger goal of aligning standards, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed connecting with the 6-12 team! It was nice to see what they are doing at the MS level and how we can work together to fill the gaps.

# data[].attributes.body
Communicating with Middle school to know and understand what and how they do some things which is helpful for what we have coming. As well as sharing Ideas

# data[].attributes.body
It's always good to check in and hear how things might move more smoothly 6-12. We each make changes but may not be rowing in the same direction.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't have 6-8 counter part but I can see the value

# data[].attributes.body
Continue the work! It’s not effective if we don’t get consistent time to continue and tweak this work

# data[].attributes.body
Good to meet with MS teachers and hear what is taught at that level

# data[].attributes.body
I loved meeting and getting know the middle school staff. Having time to talk about where 8th grade leaves off was helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Liked getting to know MS staff better

# data[].attributes.body
It was great to actually meet and work with the 6-8 teachers -- I can't remember the last time that happened!

# data[].attributes.body
Get to know each other. Know what each grade level is doing

# data[].attributes.body
I loved being able to see where the

students were coming from and why there may be some gaps in learning based on middle school standards

# data[].attributes.body
I would like more information on what teachers in lower grade levels are currently doing.

# data[].attributes.body
Great opportunity to meet 6-12 to discuss essential Standards and necessary changes to align with external assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting the opportunity to work with middle school staff on secondary alignment. Also getting to know other staff members in our district.

# data[].attributes.body
Time to talk with middle school colleagues, sharing ideas and best practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss how the units in lower grades prepare students for upper grades and how effectively this is working in our current system.

# data[].attributes.body
6-12 alignment work time!! It was great!
