 * Topics/Meeting Outcomes **

2. We will continue to look for intervention materials for the 5-8 grade span that would provide us with greater consistency across the grade spans. Appropriate assessment tools are a must.
3. Teachers were reminded to look at Reading Plus data for both 9th hour attendees and TLC students. It is the responsibility of the core reading teacher to interpret the data and determine whether or not the intervention is meeting the student's needs. 4. Preparation for ITBS will begin in December. Item analysis data was distributed so that teachers can determine which skills to target prior to testing in January.

Diane and MaryAnn will look for samples of additional intervention materials for PLC members to view. Would it be possible to use some of the
PLC time on December 17th to preview RTI materials so that they can be ordered prior to second semester starting?

We hope to be able to preview additional RTI materials on December 17th. Discussion will also continue on ITBS preparation and item analysis for respective grade levels. MaryAnn will contact Michelle Huntress to see if data can be obtained for last year's 4th graders to enable 5th grade teachers to determine skill deficits.
 * Plan for Next Meeting:**

Diane will provide additional training for teachers who want to be able to interpret Reading Plus data. Although the IAs can print the data for us, the core teachers need to make the instructional decisions on their respective reading students.
