__ Meeting Activities – We will: __ 1. Lori mentioned the need for us to guide our speakers so they present their careers at a level or presentation style for elementary learners. 1. Prompts for analyzing data were given by the principal on the Principal's Wednesday. Staff members began their work and then brought it to the following Team Meeting Wednesday session. 2. Different Tasks occurred such as MSA Scores were reviewed for a specific grade with the purpose of identifying school improvement goals. Also, MSA Scores were reviewed for a particular group of students by looking at how they scored as third graders, fourth graders and fifth graders. Everyone looked at the group of students to identify weaknesses with specific standards so instruction could be adjusted. The information was given to the principal but no one knew how it was used after it was added to the school improvement plan. 3. Katie asked how Inform data is being used by the county. (Benchmark Data, MSA Data, Math End of Unit and LA Theme Assessment) At Charlestown teachers are currently looking at who struggled on what standard and either reteaching to individuals, small groups or adjusting the unit delivery accordingly. 4. Beyond the benchmark data primary teachers identify a random choice of skills to assess and report based on students' weaknesses according to Dibels and Math Fact Data 5. All teachers have developed PDSA goals in Reading and Math. 6. All teachers are continuously monitoring Math Facts. The Top Ten Math Skills are being used as consistently as they once were. We need to revisit expectations for their use. 7. Incompleted Packets on MSA Reviews and Top Ten Skills have gone home with the students at the end of the year. 8. Top Ten Skills (when to do it/when to check it/what is its/was smoother before Breakfast Program) 9. DLP (what is its purpose/when is it done/moved to language based ones) 10. RtI: Quarterly reports are completed for specific programs. Progress monitoring is being completed for all students. 11. RtI February Meetings and ICab February Meetings: Teachers will print reports for progress monitoring and bring to the meetings. Progress monitoring data will be triangulated with Winter benchmark data and second marking term report card progress. 12. One item of concern was the lack of feedback received in regards to the school improvement plan in previous years. Rose reminded the members of Dr. Buckley's visit earlier in the year and how the current plan was restructured. She will use the presenter to share the updated plan during the January 26th ICab meeting. She will share the documents which are in the school improvement program as well. __ Future Actions __ 1. We need to work with our staff members to develop our vision and expectation for data collection and analysis. 2. We need to connect the expectation to our school improvement plan.
