Mr. Day, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Parsons, Mr. Dillon : attending

Fund Raising Request for D.I.– Amy Ward
There are teams at all levels – Elementary, Middle School, High School. There are 70 students involved in DI, and to be able to take the students to state the groups need to raise money.  At this time they plan on selling Little Caesar’s Pizza. Sales are planned for January.  Middle School has a consensus that the fundraiser would be ok.

Mrs. Lansing gave a presentation of MAPs testing.
The test will determine instructional level rather than a mastery of knowledge level.  The tests will help guide the teacher on how to help every student grow.  The computer tests are aligned to State Standards and the results are immediate.  All grades will be tested for Reading and ?. This test is not to compare how the students are performing to other students but to get a reading on where the students are learning.  The tests will adjust the difficulty of the questions until the students are answering 50% of the time. Teachers can access reports in 24 hours. The teachers can go to the DeCartes site and then get a list of the skills that the student needs to learn based on the tests.

            a. Objective change in I
*Mr. Day added Programs will strive for preparedness for High School through ZAP and sequential mathematics series.

Response to Intervention
            a. Goal II – AIMS Web – Strategic Monitoring and MAP Monitoring.
            b. Goal VI – Review Interventions in Place
                        Tier 3 - Corrective Reading – Those most in need
There are two children in this one on one program. The program is scripted, written by reading teacher.  This is good for the middle school because we have no teachers that are trained reading teachers.

                                                Vocabulary Builders
                                                Math Skill Drills
                                                Math Fluency Builders
                                                Reading Fluency Builders
                        Rewards – students who are proficient and advanced.
Tier 2 – Boost Redesign – re-teach students who miss concept.

December Meeting
            Mr. Day will poll the committee to see if there is a need for a Dec. 18th meeting.
