10/24/2007 IMP 2 PLC Minutes

• Questions from Kathy about the homework dilemma.
• Have we asked kids about why they do not do the homework?
• Mickey's previous data told him that 80% said "they just didn't do it", 15% "had other commitments", and 5% "just forgot".
• Rodney and Kym asked this question on a questionnaire last year.
• Eric will get questionnaire and data from Rodney and Kym if possible.
• Jason will speak with Ms. Bozic about strategies to get students to complete homework that would not originally have completed it. (Bozic was recommended by Stacey Geyer as a good resource on this topic.)
• Is homework essential for all students to improve achievement? Could formative assessments help us to evaluate their readiness?
• Have we taken a look at how homework completion relates to CSAP and MAP scores?
• Grading Rubric for Bee's Assessment
• Is there a way to make the findings from the process of common assessment data accessible to next year's IMP 2 PLC? Do we really need to keep starting at step one in our IMP PLCs?
