 * Facilitator/Timekeeper: Steve || Recorder: Ralph || Purpose:

Type in the content of your page here.
 * < TOG: rubric assessment ||<  ||< Will this rubric suit our purposes this year? ||< I will be bringing in the Science test, and using numbers 8 or 9, we will assess its value. Team worked in partners to look at the same tests.
 * Question 8 issues: Can a student exceed on this question? Counter example, like why isn't the copper the best choice? Include "temporary magnet" terminology. Support our expectations...teaching points, etc, to support what is expected if we are to "exceed" the standard. Question 8 would need to be reworded. Response sheet (single item) might be a better evidence piece for the rubric.
 * Sheena will come up with something to support the text features, etc, necessary to extend thinking. This support would help kids to more easily use evidence to support thinking.
 * Mary will share ACE with us
 * Question 7 issues: The format might be better, but does not seem to fit the rubric. Are they given an opportunity to get a 3 or 4? Don't use a test like this, but use it on a single item. Give students plenty of space to work...room for pictures, diagrams and words. ||< Steve: 30 minutes ||
 * Report Card Assessment ||  || Do we have a consensus of what we are checking off in Math? || Look at the report card and evaluate.
 * N/A for geometry/measurement and Algebra || Kristin: 5 min minutes ||
 * International Week Update ||  || What do we need to know? || Kristin will be sharing ideas
 * Kristen will send us the letter of explanation
 * Thursday is culminating day...BIG DAY!
 * Monday to Wednesday (teacher/room mom organized). Work into normal activities of the day. || Kristin: 10 min ||
 * PARKING LOT ||  ||   || Anything? ||   ||
