Sound Grading Practices Minutes for 1/23/13

1. Review and share standards, unit targets and learning targets for the first unit of next semester.

·         Teachers worked in pairs to compare different standards and targets that we wrote for our first unit for the semester.

·         Each teacher shared their standards for the first unit of the semester.

2. We brainstormed as a group a possible way to track students’ progress for both the students and teachers’ to use. (See below)

·         The teachers agreed that we will pilot an organizer for students and teachers to track students understanding, but it doesn’t have to necessarily be this one.

·         AT the next meeting, decide which organizer you’re going to use and try to use it once.
