March 10, 2014

Attendees: Sara Holt, Phyllis Jones, Val Dominski, Beth Cory,

Agenda:
  • Flex groups
    • grade 3 likes it. Scheduling for next year has to be better.  What are a variety of models to deliver services? More for it than against it. Flipped unit 5 and 6 because of the January time.
    • Sped ed - really like it. Easier for teacher to differentiate.  Concerns about behaviors being grouped in one place.  
    • Support staff used in best way - both regular ed and sped
    • Grade 1 - lots of ambivalence. Timing with focus groups is tough, geography, maximum of 2 units, Game day flex was not helpful. Behavior tanked in January.
    • Gr 2 - didn't want to flex for unit 6. Will flex for unit 9. Planning to flex for unit 10.  
    • Math should not be at the end of the day! With flexing, it adds to the problems. 
    • Can we think outside the box for both high and low? 
    • Positive self-esteem for all levels.
    • Data about how you feel about math each trimester.  Do you notice kids raising their hands more/less?
  • Math facts - follow up from PD in February.
    • working definition of fact automaticity
    • fluency~automaticity?
  • Struggling students - what do we do?
    • need more time to meet to plan well with ed techs and among team members.
  • Atomin 
  • training for teachers and ed techs with ten frame and other strategies/games for fact fluency/automaticity?
  • Science Talk meeting talks/dates - send a Doodle for new dates.
