Basing decisions on behavior vs. academic performance

What happens if you already have Language Live as an intervention to support English

What happens to schools that are not 1:1 with technology?

Students feel that the information is elementary in nature and implementation is a struggle ]]> 2017-12-12 16:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215493437 gskipper https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215493985 Give an option for a very small group of students.

With limited Language Live licenses,  it creates a small non-lab singleton.
What does the kid gain from taking a non-lab science class.
Seems like it replaces physical science.
Creates a stigma for kids in class.

Differentiation of course offerings to provide variety for students 

Increase test scores 
Content supports transition to next course

Using Environmental supports G+ because it allows students to be job ready

Prevents students from accelerating that may be behind but want to persevere

Why are we asserting that 9th graders cannot handle a lab science outside of Biology?

The Non-Lab tag on the class

Is there data that supports that literacy is the indicator for success in the Biology program

It would ease the burden on the master schedule if we had 3 sections of Read 180 (for example). ]]> 2017-12-12 16:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215499457 eric_loren_williams https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215501340 Benefit students who are not ready for an EOC course Freshman year.]]> 2017-12-12 16:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215501340 gskipper https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215501967 Think prerequisites for science courses need to be reviewed.
Freshman Academy implications - in/out of Academy
Teacher preps affected and scheduling a singleton
Buy-in from Admin/Teachers
More licenses would help but also require more teachers to cover those additional sections, otherwise you will create larger class sizes]]> 2017-12-12 16:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215501967 The key is if Biology is actually the required foundation course by the state. Until we have that answer, this conversation may be premature. The best approach, in my humble opinion, is for every science to be a lab science - no science course can be taught effectively as a classroom only course. https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215508500 2017-12-12 16:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/wrhymer/zzkqtk5gagxu/wish/215508500
