Attendance: Gose, Heimann, Nelson, West, Roy
Donor's Choose campaign is still going on.
Still need a LOT of funds to cover the transportation for the trip.
Achieve Challenges - Want to provide student choice but that causes grading challenges. The report for this is significantly longer and difficult to manage.
Heimann - Uses the Thought question as a Mastery grade and Activity Questions as a Progression Grade. He is seeing some very good responses to the thought questions.
Gose - Conferences with students about Achieve at least once a week about what Achieve is telling them. Challenges students who are not taking the assessments seriously (just clicking). Pointing out successes with lower kids. Lower kids get excited about Achieve days!
Heimann has seen students "level up"
Would continue using Achieve if teaching HAVPA next year.
They do not find that it has enough relative content for the performance content.
Mini Embedded PD - Frayer Models and 2 Column Notes
Feedback - Use Frayer Model for the Blooms Questions starters... "Evaluate" "Analyze" help students know what these words mean.
How many vocabulary words should the students be learning at a time?

Attendance: Gose, Heimann, Nelson, West, Roy
West's Field Trip went well. Students enjoyed being on a college campus.
Nelson states that Donors choose fundraiser is going well because Donor's choose is matching the donation.
If Teacher's can share on Facebook that would be helpful.
Google Classrooms finally updated.
It is very frustrating that the district has a 48 hour wait (or longer) on google classroom updates.
Old Google classroom classes can be archived.
Achieve not being ready to use when
Mr. Nelson is utilizing "practice logs" this semester and incorporating this into google classroom.
He is seeing improvements in their playing already. Students are more responsive to instruction.
Ms. West is using Achieve 3000 with this group of HAVPA today. Last semester, Achieve was met with resistance.
When Mr. Heimann sets Achieve expectations from day 1. He links the Achieve straight into Google classroom.
Mr. Heimann collects 2 grades from each Achieve article... the thought question (Mastery grade) and the multiple choice questions - First try answers. (progression grade)
Mr. Gose sees resistance about Achieve from Freshmen. Gose will be using it every Thursday. Mr. Heimann did atleast 10 articles. He uses Achieve because attendance is such a problem in HAVPA and it is content related and students have easy access to make up.
