** Team Notes: 1) Reviewed norms and roles   2) Reminders from Mrs. Fox via BLT member (Deb – see above agenda for those reminders) 3) Chris Mosner – answered questions.   a. How do students advance? Log in once a week for sure to see if there are any alerts to monitor students. Alerts will notify you of student advancement or other concerns.    b. How often are students required to be on it? Recommended at least 3 times per week per student; if you can get them on every day that is even better.    c. When you log into the SAM site you can also create individual worksheets for your class.    d. Back to the Alerts – the reason there are so many alerts is because our students didn’t do well on their placement test.    e. Chris suggested that we go in and give each student a unique username so that it is easy for the kids to remember. Not all students would need to do that only kids who have been logged on as someone else.    f. JUST BE MINDFUL TO GO IN AND CHECK YOUR ALERTS & student profiles to see where they are at on Fastt Math!!! Chris will give us a copy of all the usernames and passwords for each of our students. 4) Culture Survey –   a. Some people didn’t take it.    b. Some para’s don’t feel as though they are a part of the big picture. (this was a result of the survey taken)    So communicate with your para!    5) Bring all of the LA assessments for discussion on Thursday. 6) Closing: Share what we learned today.
