PLC Team Meeting Organizer

Team Smart Goal : During the 2010-11 school year, we will use research based comprehension strategies to move 10% of the ELL subgroups at least one full academic year on the ITBS reading comprehension subtest, as compared to 2009-1010.

Team Norms
1. We agree to come prepared and on time to accomplish our goals. 2. We will be responsible, respectful and contributing members who value all opinions before coming to consensus. 3. We will establish a safe, sharing environment. 4. We will use humor, as appropriate, to help us work better together.

What will we accomplish today?
1. Review the PLC SMART goal and calculate whether or not it was met at respective grade levels and as a building
 * Look at 10% of the ELL subgroups at least one full academic year on the ITBS (using HEART)
 * Document on PLC Smart Goal sheets to turn in

Checked with Allison: 1. Newcomers will have no previous data, so they will not show growth. 2. Newcomers and special ed students are accounted for within each grade level on HEART. We cannot delete students at will. 3. Figure whether or not the SMART goal is met at each grade level. Tally our data together to determine to what extent the goal was met building-wide. After that is reported out, type up a formal statement to briefly summarize our progress by grade level and by building.
