January+31

Proposed Agenda - January 31, 2011 Questions to Consider: > Jacki - as a parent, she prefers the "nit-picky" option, as a teacher she prefers to have year-long benchmarks. We agree that we are trying to include specific benchmarks (similar to Ventura report card) but need to allow each teacher to include comments.
 * Review Statement of Purpose draft
 * Offer suggestions
 * Finalize Statement of Purpose
 * 1) Do we want to grade students on their progress towards meeting selected year long benchmarks or do we want to have specific benchmarks or expectations for each of the marking periods?
 * 1) On the report cards, do we want the standard/benchmark descriptions to be the same for all grades or should they be different for each grade? (If they are the same for different grade levels then we need to create separate documents or pull down lists of specific grade level benchmarks for that standard.)
 * Share ideas, thoughts on questions
 * Advise discussion points for next week
 * Solidify next week’s meeting day/time
