It is a great resource. It offers good visuals and supplementary text for students to use.

We were able to create units for Quarter 3, and we began to put questions into our assessment and tag them with standards. We were not able to select the questions for the finalized assessment, but we made progress

# data[].attributes.body
We made a few changes in terms of when some standards are introduced and when students should be proficient. We also discussed about how the units should be ordered for the Pacing Guide

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to make sure that when students are reading, it is focused around text dependent analysis. To accomplish this, I will model how to interact with the text and scaffold students' learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the ability to meet and collaborate with other teachers from TLG. I thought it was useful being able to discuss what went well on the Quarter 1 Assessment and changes we would make to the pacing guide.

It would have been useful to have more time to collaborate on the unit assessment, but I understand that the poor weather prevented that from happening.

Overall, I found it to be a useful and enjoyable day.

They are a great resource for the kids and for teachers as long as technology is available to use.

We were able to create the units for quarter 3, and had begun creating the assessment for the first unit for quarter 3.

# data[].attributes.body
We adjusted some of the quarter 3 pacing to make it more friendly to the students. We put the Rise of Empires and Fall of Empires back to back, and pulled the world religions aspect out and made it a separate unit.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to format my reading strategies around the text dependent analysis. I am going to use what was talked about to better format my questions with a higher DOK level.

# data[].attributes.body
The visuals will be really useful in class and also as text to use with students who need a little extra info

I believe that it can be a useful resource to help further what we do in class. Lots of good maps/pictures as well

I found the opportunity to collaborate with teachers from other schools useful and enjoyable. I believe we were able to successful decide how we want to format our units and quarters moving forward. There was no part of the day that I did not believe was useful.

We began to evaluate an assessment used by a previous teacher, and see how it will work this year our classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it a great resource for our students. I love the embedded videos and other materials.

Looked at a previous year unit test to see what changes should be made

Some of the topics that the students are to be proficient are covered in quarter 3 can be introduced in quarter 1&2.

The book would make a great resource for supplementing our instruction.

We were unable to create an 8th grade common assessment.

Rose- Seeing where other people are with their classes

Bud- looking forward to continued collaboration with colleagues

Thorn- Time constraints/ Lack of leadership with all teachers being new to this subject

The outcomes from the unit assessment creation was helpful to organize units in a more meaningful way.

One way I would use Open Books would be for supplemental materials. Students can use the materials for extra help .

I enjoyed talking with the other sixth grade teachers, especially since its all our first year doing this and discussing what we do in our classes

The 8th grade team was unable to come to a consensus on the 8th grade pacing guide- will revisit individually and correspond via email.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be included more reading and writing prompts in my lesson plans.

# data[].attributes.body
Some changes that our group made to the pacing guide were including some content standards to introduced during Q1 and Q2.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought is was useful to be able to create the benchmark assessment ahead of time, so that I can backwards teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Our group was able to come up with a consensus on the Units taught, not only for quarter three, but for the remainder of the year.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to incorporate the MStep checklist into my weekly writing checklist for my students to help them better be prepared for the standardized test.

# data[].attributes.body
We have named our Units and began to create questions for our next Unit, but are not finished with it.

# data[].attributes.body
We shifted a few items to different areas in the pacing guide. For items (regarding the H1 and H2 standards), we changed it so that they are introduced 1st quarter and students are expected to be proficient in these areas by the end of 3rd quarter.

# data[].attributes.body
From the Text Dependent Analysis Session I will implement DoK3 questions to prepare students to produce evidenced based responses.

# data[].attributes.body
It was nice to get opinions from other schools.

# data[].attributes.body
We made changes to the pacing guide, specifically identifying when students' will need to be proficient in certain standards. Additionally, we are looking to adjust when certain Units are taught. For example, Rise of Empires will be the 4th Unit, Fall of Empires will be Unit 5, and World Religions will be Unit 6.

# data[].attributes.body
The collaboration was very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
For the 6th grade we made very minimal changes to the 1st and 2nd quarter pacing guide. Specifically, 6-G1.2.1, 6-G1.2.3, 6-G1.2.4.

My 7th grade social studies partner and I have already been emphasizing text dependent analysis since the beginning of the year. We intend to continue it and to have more text dependent analysis in our warm-ups.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the social studies cohort was very productive. We have a general idea on how the remainder of the year will play out and have already begun create assessment questions for unit 4.

# data[].attributes.body
We call Wednesday's "Wac"k"y Wednesday's" where our students will read a passage of some sort, write a constructed response, and cite sources. What we will alternate in will be giving specific statements for them to use evidence to support that specific statement.

# data[].attributes.body
The sixth grade teachers are attaching standards to the questions they have already created.

# data[].attributes.body
This was by far the most collaborative group that I've worked with. As far as productivity, I feel as if we made more inroads in our common units/assessments. Furthermore, it does help sometimes to be reminded about the purpose of our questions in making them more rigorous.
