6th Grade Math Meeting on 05/16/2013

Participants: Ashley D., Brian H., Kylene T., (M. Root is tracked out)

Quarter SMART Goal: To have students who scored level 3 on the EOG score a 77% or higher on the Quarter Benchmark.
To have students who scored level 4 on the EOG score an 90% or higher on the Quarter Benchmark

Minutes: Discussed placements for next year and benchmark/EOG grid response questions. We are seeing high level students make careless errors on the grid response questions. We discussed how a hand graded response would be more effective in seeing if a student has mastered a concept.

Discussed the 3rd quarter benchmark assessment results and analyzed them as a PLT with the analysis tool to be emailed to Sue Parks for our School Improvement Process.
