1. "Five Minute Strategy Session" 2. Cluster and Unit Test Analysis 3. Wiki Discussion on Peer Observations
 * Vicki: Using Formative Assessment Results
 * Please be sure to follow this link to sign up for a 5-minute strategy session. We don't have anyone to present at the next meeting as of 2-24. To get to this link, just go: ELD PLC Wiki>PLC Business>Collaboration Meetings>February 28th>The link above
 * We need to be sure we are using our data.
 * We need to be willing to look at how we teach vs. our results.
 * Basically, we need to monitor our own progress and talk about the strategies we use that help us make that progress.
 * Let's use this activity to reflect on how we taught our last completed unit (as in, the reading strategies we used when teaching) and our students' results.
 * Here are the steps:
 * Find your students' average scores for each test from the last unit you completed:
 * The Google Doc is on this page.
 * Average for cluster 1, cluster 2, cluster 3, and the unit test.
 * Even though students only take the test in ELD, Support teachers can still sort the google doc by their name and analyze test results this way.
 * To find the average score, just highlight all your students' scores for each individual test (when you do this, there is a little box in the bottom right corner that contains this information).
 * Record your students' averages and then look back at your plans on your wikispace to determine which reading strategies you used when teaching that particular cluster/unit.
 * On this Google Form, enter your averages for each test and check all the reading strategies you used to help students learn.
 * Click submit. Done!
 * After we have gathered our data, we can reflect on the results.
 * Use collaboration time this week to begin/finish this.
