__**Our 2013-2014 SMART Goal and Action Plan**__ I like that you incorporated the PBL work your students will take part in this year. I wonder if, instead of a passing grade (identify the % to be more specific), you might use the 1-4 system instead? I realize they will require additional support anyway, but wouldn't it be a rigorous goal to say they will earn a "3"??? Give it some thought. (Dr. C)

=__**Agendas for PLC Collaboration (Add and date agendas here)**__= Be sure you are posting your agendas AND minutes to the Wiki - it helps us stay in tune with what you are working on.... :-) Mary __**Minutes from PLC Collaboration (Add and date Minutes here)**__   I know the items  on your minutes are important, but I would like to challenge you to look at the loose and tight items for PLC's - a more productive use of time would be to talk about strategies you can use to increase student performance... sharing reading or math strategies would be a great activity for your PLC to tackle based on student need (data)... and then track student performance based on the strategies... (Mary) Mary, we do this at every meeting. But, we have to discuss individual students and see what would work for them as defined in the IEP. I may not note that all the time but, we are always doing this. The reason we have to discus individuals is that each student has a different IEP and we are required to do different things with each one of them through the IEP and through their goals that have been made for them. As special education teachers we are always looking at strategies because we are REQUIRED by law to do so and to follow an IEP that is data driven and we track performance daily. When something isn't working we come together and help each other out. We also have been helping our new teachers how to do this process also. I feel we have been very productive with our time and that I can't put down exactly what we talked about in some instances because of confidentiality law. We can't even hand out a blanket sheet to all teachers with names of SPED students on it because if that teacher doesn't have them it is against the law. Thanks Jen I guess I would like your conversation documented so we can see the level of conversation.... hard to know what is being discussed when you are not present. Thanks for clarifying for me!
