Technology needs to be more readily available to all students (BYOD)

The F & P scores only go up to grade 8.  We need to know whether or not our students are reading, understanding, and representing in the academic language of our content areas.

We need a greater understanding of what the F & P scores actually mean in terms of student capability.

Provide time for the professional conversations on student achievement using student work samples and problem solving processes.

We can always use more time and support to work with our EAL students. Again, resources are scarce (we often have to create our own as commercially available products tend to focus on elementary school and ignore high school).]]> 2016-10-14 16:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797280 https//goo.gl/forms/ELjYlSbfg2i42HgF2 cmcmurray https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797310 2016-10-14 16:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797310 providing a range of texts is very difficult in French Immersion content areas, it's already difficult to find any resources, let alone at different reading levels. https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797446 2016-10-14 16:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797446 https://padlet.com/cmcmurray/vmc/wish/130797971 I am a HAL 9000 series computer
