We are having great discussions using data from our assessments and sharing the best practices we used for the successes enjoyed. Teachers ask each other, "how did you teach that to get such high marks in that area?"

# data[].attributes.body
I would like more information on modeling and showing the differences.

# data[].attributes.body
We really need to grow in the understanding and implementation of science and engineering practices

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the modeling classes .

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to grow more in learning different ways to use data. To be able to make rigorous assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
Instruction on facilitating meetings allowed me to keep team members focused and using time wisely.

# data[].attributes.body
Seamless flow between instruction, activity, modeling, and assessment

If kids are learning by doing, building, designing, and modeling, how do you make up those experiences for absent students?

# data[].attributes.body
Working on trust with my team. We've gotten much better with trust and focus on the tasks at hand. We're still working on getting buy in from everyone. It will need to be "all hands on deck" with new AKS.

# data[].attributes.body
This course gave me skills that made me a confident leader. I am learning how to win my team over when leading them to accept a challenge that will prepare them for next yeR

# data[].attributes.body
I truly understand my role as a course team lead.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the way we all have learned at the same time about models and what constitutes a model. Our ideas have changed over the course.

# data[].attributes.body
Working on data analysis also I feel to that I have introduced the engineering practices on our assessments have allowed the teachers to really understand how this will have work next year

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding the new Science & Engineering Practices beyond a surface reading --
Of course I know what a model is...maybe...

# data[].attributes.body
Enjoyed getting a better understanding of the new science AKS. Like the modeling activity. I feel better about running my curriculum meeting and keeping it positive and productive.

# data[].attributes.body
Glow: One of my strengths is leading positive, effective course team meetings. I encourage my colleagues to verbalize positive thoughts that are beneficial to the group. I maintain focus on the task at hand with my team to discourage ineffective uses of time.

Grows: I would want to grow more in my role as a content leader. I have been teaching less than a year so it is difficult to step into that role when my colleagues have taught for years.

# data[].attributes.body
Glow:
1. I truly enjoyed the interactive aspect of working on the Science and Engineering Practices. I think that will definitely be the more challenging aspect of the new curriculum.
2. We have continued to develop even more trust within the team. We still know that we have one person who actually skips our meetings. That person has transferred to a new school next year.
Grow:
1. Still need to work on using data protocols. Our meetings are often scripted by what the admin needs and we cannot utilize the various protocols as a group.

Assessments and Data Analysis

# data[].attributes.body
Ensuring that we are all on the same page in understanding, interpreting, and implementing the new AKS and incorporating the NGSS "modeling" and "inquiry" skills.

# data[].attributes.body
We specifically looked at data and planned for remediation to improve before the DA's. We used Google Docs to collaborate in creating review stations and hands-on activities for DA remediation.

# data[].attributes.body
Good advice for leading our team

# data[].attributes.body
More indepth with AKS requirements per our subject area

# data[].attributes.body
becoming better at data analysis - still struggling with time

# data[].attributes.body
We started using an agenda for course team meetings and it has helped us to stay on topic and keep our meetings organized and ending on time.

# data[].attributes.body
Liked the sorting activity of "what is modeling" so teachers get a good sense for what new standards are asking

# data[].attributes.body
More data mining and data management techniques

# data[].attributes.body
Work on "getting everyone on board" for new standards and teaching

# data[].attributes.body
Would really like for us to develop better remediation strategies for questions they miss consistently year to year on our tests. Also want to utilize data analysis protocols to dig deeper into our data.

Growing my knowledge of the new AKS will be extremely beneficial in leading my team and helping my students reach their full academic potential

Good to see modeling of effective team meeting

# data[].attributes.body
Still having a hard time getting the course team to engage and produce.

# data[].attributes.body
-Developing more comfort in the data analysis and learning how to maximize the information provided

# data[].attributes.body
Need more time.... to implement the great stuff!

# data[].attributes.headline
Learning use the ATLAS protocol to help my team analyze data was WONDERFUL!!!

Learning use the ATLAS protocol to help my team analyze data was WONDERFUL!!!

# data[].attributes.body
It has been difficult with consistency in data analysis because as a course team we are just not there yet due to so many new teachers who struggle to understand what we are analyzing.

# data[].attributes.body
Learned alot of leadership skills to help become a better leader

# data[].attributes.body
Software options for data analysis and how to use them.

# data[].attributes.body
My curriculum meetings exploded with information and order and effectiveness!

# data[].attributes.body
I need to work on delegation and trusting in my team to do the work I've asked them to do (and try not to micromanage so much)

# data[].attributes.body
It was somewhat difficult to get veteran teachers on board with the new AKS. Constant references were made to past science models, and they were not open-minded towards the updated standards.

# data[].attributes.body
Glow: more trust between all team members in terms of creating assessment questions, completing tasks, etc.

Grow: More communication between levels (Honors/Gifted rarely communicates with CP teachers)

# data[].attributes.body
Writing common assessment items for new standards.

# data[].attributes.body
Using Data Analysis Protocol to examine data with egos (or at least getting teachers to see that it shouldn't involve their egos)

# data[].attributes.headline
Great information on data and using it to drive instruction...came in useful!

# data[].attributes.subject
Great information on data and using it to drive instruction...came in useful!

# data[].attributes.body
Focused on more positive communication and more frequent meetings

# data[].attributes.body
Very helpful seeing how new standards can be incorporated into existing concepts

# data[].attributes.body
We focused every unit this year from the first unit in August helping students learn how to read and analyze ACT science questions and develop the critical thinking and reasoning skills to be successful at analyzing data tables and graphs. We saw an average increase in scores of 25 points from the pretest to the post-test!

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at the new standards and how to discuss them with our course teams

# data[].attributes.body
Using a more organized form of data analysis with my students (that I picked up from another teacher here) has been AMAZING. They get a lot out of it and take ownership more.

# data[].attributes.body
Glows:
- Digging into the new AKS was fantastic. I feel more confident about how much different the new standards are going to be but how I can tackle that.
- Although I am not a current team lead, I feel more confident in my ability to be an effective leader, should the opportunity arise.
- The hands on activities and examples were fantastic.
- Using so much data and I LOVE that. Mastery Trackers are awesome and I'm working on being more effective with that data.

Grows:
- More time to work with the new standards and build effective activities and assesments that will be beneficial to our students.
- How can I be more effective with analyzing the data and USING that to inform my teaching going forward. Re-teaching, test corrections, etc?

# data[].attributes.body
-Moving the course team to a successful transition to the block schedule.
-Refining a data analysis protocol to help teachers identify strengths.

# data[].attributes.body
The two labs  were very helpful in formatting lessons. The mock PLC meetings was beneficial in demonstrating best practices for professional meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
Glow: Consistently Looked at data from both common and formative assessments as a group

Grow: Knowing what to do next with the data; We know weak areas, but need help with the remediation portion

# data[].attributes.body
Our course team met much more frequently this year than in the past.  We also developed and utilized common assessments, both formative and summative assessments.  We were also better at analyzing data and addressing student needs in a more consistent manner

# data[].attributes.body
The mock course team meeting was very helpful in effective facilitation. I implemented the strategies learned and the following meetings have been productive and have not lasted forever and a day!

# data[].attributes.body
Having the course team analyze data at the end of each unit assessment gave us a quick look at what areas needed reteaching. It allowed us to give students immediate feedback and a remediation plan
