What has been the percentages in the past 5 years in Math. Has there been a huge decline in the score this year compared to previous years? What is different this year than past years?

If I did something to coach my students during spring break or before and after school two weeks before would I have to take a bunch of other students from the same grade? (Because it is much harder to make a difference if the group gets really big and you don't know each student well.)

Where is all this money coming from???? and why aren't we spending it on "Our" kids?

Our goal is to improve our teaching but we are out of class to learn how to improve our teaching. I definitely think having more workshops offered after school is the best bet......no need to do sub plans, no worry about not having enough subs show up, etc.

# data[].attributes.headline
We are out of class too much.  We spend too much planning time creating more work for ourselves and/or creating sub plans.

The district is not focusing on a greatest need...too many focus directions...too many last minute changes.

We are having to rewrite our plans often to accomodate the most recent concerns: SUTW/Science Fair/Math Focus.

It is definitely evaluative.

Not a good idea. Above grade level students might not be able to attend, students with learning disabilities may not be able to attend...

Is this a work-study option for them or volunteering only? It might be tough for them to come in and it will require a lot of training for them to work with our kiddos.

Are we going to get a non-optional day for a staff training. The last training was optional and held right before parent conferences when we were all crazy busy. I would greatly appreciate an in depth training.

# data[].attributes.body
Often, a test is given, perhaps a "MAP" test, and test questions are presented to the student, but a topic may not have been taught  yet......so, a student's score might look "low", but we haven't covered that topic yet.
So, a "low" score might be deceptive.....maybe it's not that our students are struggling, maybe it's the order in which topics are taught?  Or maybe the test questions should be more appropriate for each grade level?  Or maybe the test questions/results should be weeded out and not show that a child is "low"......
maybe the band of "low" scores in an area not taught  yet should be set aside?

# data[].attributes.body
Common core math standards do include an expected math fluency component. Go Math does not address this. Students do need facts fluency in order to be successful in higher level skills that are taught in Go Math.

The only notification of this was reading it in the math plan.
Some grades have days on Dec. 12 and Dec. 15.  Those teachers would need to  plan for a sub.  Teachers have classroom activities planned, whether holiday related or not.  Having more of a "heads up" notice about days such as this would be helpful.

Having the document was good, but not being able to discuss it as a whole staff created some anxiety? We had a lot of questions, but didn't know the answers yet......maybe some of our concerns will turn out to be non issues? Maybe for the future....a written document can be distributed within days of a meeting. I think having too much time to contemplate the unknown created some bad vibes?
