Reports on HPT meetings
K-2: Celie Perleberg—Continued working on common assessments for Math. Terry Gross was volunteered to be on the calendar committee.
3-4: Michelle Kaney—Continued their work on common assessments for Math.
5-6: Julie Bonner—Came up with a calendar for the calendar committee. Joe Pitts volunteered to be on the committee. The team focused on writing assessment and came up with three writing prompts for assessments to be used throughout the school year to obtain measurable results.
Wellness: Mary Ahnert—Email was sent to staff about the wellness committee. They are seeking a student and parent representative to attend their meetings. Currently working on grants available and the application process.
Intervention (Elementary): Bridget Martel—The team needed a more efficient way to look at students needing intervention. They created an academic profile form that lists the assessments currently given as well as the student’s prior test history. The form includes a recommendation section. The profile can following the student from elementary to high school and be transferred with a student who changes school districts. Started out for students with difficulties but certainly could be used for all students.
Tech Team: Sue Zielanski—Will be working on the Information Literacy Assessment at trails9.org.
English: Charlie Ball—Worked on the various assessments that are given at specific grade levels. Will be used for entrance and exit information.
Science: Vicki Heupel –Currently no placement test, summative assessments are by individual teacher. They are currently going through the year and aligning the essential learnings with the tests. Also discussed the transition from eighth to ninth grade and created a form for essential learnings that will be used for each student for intervention.
Social Studies: Stormy Taylor—Looked at what is currently in place, how they assess, and their expectations of what students should know. More release time would be beneficial, as well as plagiarism software and maps. Also discussed the gap in social studies from 8th grade to Junior year. (Perhaps a freshman elective for Geography?)
Math: Jessica Johnson—Marya volunteered to be on the calendar committee and will present the calendar that they created. They are working on math assessments to be given three times a year. Next meeting will be to work on PreAlgebra test bank.
Intervention (High School): Clara Clark—Has not met, will be attending an intervention conference next month.
Reminder for teams to sign up for the board presentations.
Next forum meeting will be March 16.
