  •  Strategies for citing evidence in all areas was discussed.
  • There was not enough planning time.  It was cut short when anxiety due to overload was detected.
  • This afternoon, team will work on On-line ELA, specifically constructed student responses and grouping of students.
  • There is a need for more ELA curriculum training.  There is still a great divide in ability and understanding of curriculum within the grade level as  a whole.

  • They spent time on assessment adjustments, constructed responses, citing evidence, and comparing text.  
  • Oneidea tht they will all do is RACER, a G.O. to teach respones for internalization.
  • Time was well spent  and it helped give a bigger pespective to things. The strategies identified will provide more consistent structure.

  • Reading comprehension, and strategies to model it, teach it, and tie it to reading and writing was discussed.  
  • Levels of questioning and creating opportunites for deeper levels of thinking were discussed.  
  • There us still no consensus on pacing and essential items to teach.  There is little consistency as too benchmark and its assessments.
  • Time to plan using the ELA and experience with the curriculum is needed.  There were ideas shared, but no comittemnt to act.
  • This afternoon, time will be spent on identifying what is most important.

    • They tried to backwards map.  What they discovered is that they cannot delete anything.  All are essential. 
    • After discussing assesmsnt, they reached consensus- one HES is not happy with- that all unit assessments will focus on listening comprehension- not reading comprehension until unit 5-6.
    • Teachers got their iRead accounts.
