= Minutes: = Notes from today's meeting:
 * Tara told us about some strategies to help students speak more in class: read alouds, picking a reporter to report on group work. For extremely shy students, give them a chance to speak after class. For the persuasive unit: have students stand in front of class and explain why they would be a good friend or boy/girlfriend. By the end of the year,Tara advocates giving students multiple opportunities to speak in class, offering students coaching and strategies to help them feel more comfortable about speaking in class.
 * For any student that does not have a score on any of the formative tests the score will be put in as MIS for missing.
 * The scores going in on our tracking will be formalized as 12=100, 11=95, 4=65, 3=50.
 * There is now a set criteria for what a student needs to accomplish to move up to the next level.
