The SMART Goal itself is very relevant. The question I have is how will you be using the AIMSWeb data from progress monitoring during your PLC meetings? We have to look at the evidence to determine if what we are doing is working or not. If not, what is the next step?

__**Our 2013-2014 SMART Goal and Action Plan**__ A very specific goal and easy to monitor as well. What is your action plan for getting there? (Dr. C)

I like the goal. Keep in mind the elements of a SMARTGoal. How about something like this...100% of our students will score....as measured by (what tool) ... and how often?

Andy A SMART goal is: Specific (and strategic): Answer the question—Who? and What? Measurable: Answers the question—How? Attainable: Goals are realistic and can be achieved in a specific amount of time and are reasonable. Relevant (results oriented): The goals are aligned with current tasks and projects and focus in one defined area; include the expected result. Time framed: Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target or deadline date.

With MAP testing reaching the end of its window for proctoring, what are some suggestions that may be done prior to Spring MAP testing with special education students requiring to have tests read to them that may help in getting all students tested in the given window available? I thought utilizing students from William Penn was effective, but I also think we need to find available resources elsewhere, as there just weren't enough college students to help fulfill the number of SPED students requiring tests read to them. Any suggestions from the group? M. Scholes

I noticed in November you were going to talk about individual students, but haven't seen you look at data, instruction, etc. since then. Do you have built in, scheduled PLC time to discuss Curriculum, instruction and assessment? You need to focus on student learning during PLC Time. (Dr. C)

Just a thought... if you don't want to post students' grades - which I agree can be demeaning to some... why not have them keep track individually of their progress. They could do a chart just like we saw in the video and what they are doing in Science at the MS. (Dr. C. )

Sounds like good conversations... great idea with the graphs - adding the line will provide a goal for students to try to get to. Hope they are doing well. Maybe you could share some results? (Dr. C)

Add your agendas and minutes to the Wiki! We like to know what you are working on prior to the PLC date - and also what you discussed so we can provide feedback and/or assistance!!!!! Mary

=__**Minutes from PLC Collaboration (Add and date Minutes here)**__= __**ARe you having trouble adding your minutes? If you are, let me know... I didn't save because i thought you also put them here.... (Mary)**__ The targeted interventions data sheet is so critical to ALL students' success - if you plot where each student is in relation to a GLB/Components you can determine what to do to help those students.... more powerful would be SPED teachers collaborating with Gen. Ed. teachers where students are integrated... and talk about what strategies/interventions might take place to help these students. Your wall as SPED might be different - but you can tweak it to fit...... (Mary)I was glad to see that some SPED teachers were able to go out and collaborate with some Gen Ed teachers on curriculum!!
