July 9th & 10th

Agenda

1. Create a list of our criteria for effective: mini-lessons & practice, assessments, homework and challenges. We will also put together a list of the components of our curriculum guides that may require "tweaking."

2. Lisa will give us an overview of the Professional Learning Teams we will be forming this year, and will also share some information about the mathematical writing strategy we discussed in May. '

3. Break into groups and begin enhancing and revising our curriculum guides: (*Our goal is to get one curriculum guide revised each day, and to have some time to swap and look through the other team's guide)

Day 1 Unit	Number Sense/Place Value	Problem Solving
Day 2 Unit	Multi-Digit Division	Multiplication & Area
Team Leader	Jana Walls	Sara Wessel
Team Members	Kimberly Hendrick Erin Deneke Fran Box	Ann Bettis Rachel Davis Lisa Lothspeich**

4. Lunch Break- We will be ordering pizza ($5.00). Text or email me if you are willing to bring a salad or dessert- (228-8429). Go ahead and bring whatever you'd like to drink.

5. Continue working on your team's guide(s) and go over the other team's completed guide. 

 Notes
1. We created a list of CAD job for the upcoming school year. 

AGENDA – This person will record any unfinished CAD business as well as additional information collected during the week to create an Agenda for the next CAD.  The Agenda will be sent to members by Thursday.

NOTES/ATTENDANCE  - In addition to taking attendance and giving it to Elizabeth Wilson (for now), this person will take notes during CAD and will post them to our blog  http://pi4thgrademathandscience.blogspot.com/

COPIES (2)– There will be one copy person for each hall.   That person will coordinate with the members on their hall and will communicate with Michelle.

 

PROOFREADER- (This person will proofread and correct any documents created in CAD.  They will provide a “good” copy to each of the copy people by Wednesday.

MEDIA CAPTAIN (-: - This person will be responsible for setting up and managing the elmo during the CAD meeting.(if necessary).

LOGISTICS DIVA  - This person will serve as time keeper and will facilitate the CAD meeting as we work through the week’s agenda.

SUNSHINE -  This person will be responsible for recognizing various positive aspects of members, CAD, Curriculum, Students, School, etc……

SARA, RACHEL, JANA, ANN, KIMBERLY, LYDIA, FRAN ERIN

3. We discussed and chose Professional Learning Teams
(Teams will meet once a month following our Staff Meeting. Time for sharing from the team members will be available at the beginning of the following week's CAD meeting.) 

4. Lisa provided an overview of the 4-2-1 math/writing strategy that will be used following math congress. 

5. We established criteria for our assessments, mini-lessons & practice, homework, and tasks/challenges that are listed in the previous post. 

6. We split into 2 groups and worked on improvements in the Place Value and Problem Solving Units. We began by first designing/tweaking our assessments to meet the criteria our CAD established. When both groups were finished, we exchanged assessments to enhance the other group's work. The two group met again to discuss the questions and suggestions they had for the other group's assessment. Lisa will put these first two assessments into Performance Series (Global Scholar) for us.
