Close Reading strategy google presentation and posters in every classroom. 
2. Inferencing: use the academic language and practice the skill whenever possible with reading text.
3. What can we do about attendance? This is a problem. We discussed rewards for attendance, but we are afraid this will backfire.
4. Discussed capital requests. 
5. Maker Space ideas.

(Monitoring stations)

Decompression for the kids in other classes if able

Testing set up in a way in which kids have a block schedule (Similar to what 6th grade does) and not a class period to finish sections of the test. Classes remain together (familiarity with class group), and with content area teacher that aligns with test (English teacher with English test, Science teacher with Science test, Math teacher with Math test).

To reduce distractions, testing block occur before 5th period, due to distraction with passing times for lunches. Testing blocks in morning, with 5th, 6th and 7th period used to give students a break/decompress.

Possibility of partnership with local businesses to give students breakfast, snacks, etc. (McMuffins for everyone! and Hashbrowns!)

Adjust bell schedule to coincide with block scheduling for longer test times, or no bells at all to reduce distractions.

Maintain familiarity and consistency for all students to give them the best opportunity to succeed on all test

Reviewing test taking strategies with students

CELEBRATE SUCCESSES!!!
There needs to be some type of reward for those students who achieved their goal, improved their scores, or remained in g/b zone. Social hour, activity day, or reward at the end of week/day.

Something like scheduled action plan follow up (those that dropped and can help us meet our action plan).]]> 2017-02-17 16:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rpauly1/qai8onq9078z/wish/154639983 rdalske1 https://padlet.com/rpauly1/qai8onq9078z/wish/154642145 We need to create a transition room or space (maybe a WEB support "center") that has a more positive environment (not rm 14 or check & connect) for students to have a work space within the school day as academic support and work completion.]]> 2017-02-17 17:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rpauly1/qai8onq9078z/wish/154642145 https://padlet.com/rpauly1/qai8onq9078z/wish/154642660 *During testing, having paras/other adults outside of classrooms or in hallways as a reminder to keep quiet.
*More recess time or outside time during testing weeks. The kids need to get out their energy.
