It was collaborative. We had a good discussion.

Science identified the standard, we worked very well together

Science:Process was easy. We all had a good understanding of each REAL element as it applied to our standard

we made really good progress. We know what we want to focus on and started making a schedule

1. We were able to talk through the next unit.

2. It was a little frustrating because what we think and what the county has told us does not line up.

3. More clarification from math department.

Process was familiar as ELA has already started working on our standards.

We could use additional time on the process.

We were able to agree on "where we are" and "where we are going" - 8th grade P.E., etc.

We were able to talk about the next two units and our timeline for them

We made good progress in identifying and evaluating standards.  It was difficult, due to lack of brainpower this late in the day, but we persevered.  We would like to see some models or exemplars for success criteria associated with our standards.  It’s always best to have an example for abstract thinking tasks.  We also need more time to revisit some standards that need to be fleshed out.

Acknowledgement and understanding that everyone is in a very different place with identifying essentials but that the outcome and purpose behind this will drive important conversations and a narrowed/targeted focus on instruction and LEARNING!

We came to agreement on essential standards...good conversations!

# data[].attributes.body
The process was a matter of looking at our standards and deciding if everything was important. We used everything from one standard (all of the subparts a-?) but can go through and pare down later.

The same textbooks.

Additional support would be to have time for this work with the people from other Middle Schools who teach my content to really do the work.

We made good progress, but find our timeline to be problematic. 8th grade needs a lot of help- we can't use backward design when the assessment has not been created, and completing 5 essential standards in 5 weeks, to mastery, is unrealistic. We need support in the form of the assessment and flexibility on when we are assessing.

We have done a lot of work at the district level, and our MP 2 standards are mostly worked through. We focused on second semester standards today.

# data[].attributes.body
We need teaching assistants to do all of our grading so that we can teach. :) And we just need the system of scaffolds throughout the years so that we build from year to year.

Good conversations.  Concerned with time restraints in current unit.

Good to talk to one another and agree on the topics we had thought about to use

# data[].attributes.headline
We discussed how the standard cut across all the grade levels
