Notes from November Meeting

Here are the notes from the last meeting...

TOPIC: Setting Clear Targets (Chapter 3)
Brittney - shared how targets are displayed and addressed with students. Targets for each subject are written on the white board in the front of the class and the students read eeach target and discuss what is means. Puts stars next to the targets that have been reviewed at the end of the lesson.
Tamra - Shared how she has the students come up with 3 "why's" to the target. For example, "Why are we doing an ERT?" Tamra also shared her data from the Student Survey. Most students were able to say they knew what they were learning, but were not sure what they would be learning next, or how to put together a portfolio (yet to be taught).
Cindy - Cindy share that she is putting up her targets on the white board as well, however only has room to do one subject at a time. The students are enjoying using the targets. Cindy also shared her data from the student survey, which had similar results to Tamra's.
Jonathon - Jonathon shared a rubric he uses for SSR that he made on the Smartboard. He is working on using it more consistently.
Joanne - Joanne shared that she uses the magentic chart to post her targets for the day. She also shared a Weekly Feedback Form that that the students fill out about their progress and targets for the week. Parents sign and return it.
