Team Notes: Facilitator – Deb Taskmaster – Sarah Manning Recorder – Tess Timekeeper – Vicki Klein Process observer – Andrew Haines 1) Staff information updates from BLT and the office as outlined on the agenda for the week. Make sure to have the letters and the parents signed off tonight… these have to be handed out and signed TONIGHT!!!   2) Fastt Math – everyone is getting their students logged on for at least the first session. Some are having trouble with the loading, but we found out that the servers are being changed. Each student should be on at least 10 minutes max and then they should either be kicked out of the system. ?? – does it save your student’s work if you take them off after 10 minutes even if the system doesn’t kick them out. 3) Review of Literacy Goal:   · ** Use student data gathered monthly, to formulate patterns in student learning and build instructional practices based upon that data in order to monitor progress. **   · ** Identify specific areas of need for each student by doing running records to determine instructional level, letter- sound identification, sight word recognition, phonemic awareness activities such as beginning and ending sounds, medial sounds, and segmenting sounds in spoken word. Based on AIMS Web data 43 of 87 3rd grade students did not achieve 95% accuracy on the passages. By September 17th students’ area of need will be identified in regards to accuracy. **   · ** In order to address the needs of students who have already demonstrated accuracy, based on AIMS Web and are in need of work in fluency and prosody, teachers will use differentiated instruction to promote growth in fluency and prosody. ** We need to have as much of this data done - For Thursday we will focus on phonemic awareness and the sight words. How will we analyze the running records collectively? Fluency Accuracy Strategies Levels of readers Are we going to be revising our literacy goal? Yes after this first round of assessments, we will be updating our goals. 4) Pacing Guides –   a. Assessments for Literacy: Contraction assessment, noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb and some sort of connection assessment, monitoring for meaning. What are we doing to make these common?    i. Parts of speech – due October 1.    ii. What is the function of each of each part of speech? And can they identify each of these in a sentence?    5) Next time – Phonemic Awareness, Sight Word Assessments and pacing guides to cover another subject area for assessments. 6) Monday September 20 – Instructional Aides will be in the classrooms while teachers are at the AIMS Web Roll-out of data.  Closing –  Goals shared before the end = most will be completing their running records and analyzing them and ideas about how to support their learning.
