12 September 2007 – Grade Team Eleven

Tisha, Bridgette, Kim, Heather, Barbara, Yang

1. Summer Projects – How Do We Divide Summer Projects Grade Ten Advisors - Are you grading your own summer assignment? Bridgette went off to investigate what the other grade teams are doing as far as grading the summer assignments. 2. Should Grade Team Meetings all be in the same room so that if a question comes up we can just lean over and ask the other team? 3. Once graded, should the summer assignment grade only count in advisory, or should it also go into subject classes? We think it should just be advisory grade. 4. Bridgette and Barbara have decided to **start** grading their advisees summer projects this weekend. Since no rubric was created, Bridgette has volunteered (thank you Bridgette) to send out a checklist for all of us to follow. Mil Gracias. 5. ALL TEACHERS!!! Email Tisha any curriculum items that Tisha can support in her technology class. This also goes for Resource (Rob Polumbo, Mike McSherry, Jeff Pennington, J. Cheung, C. Fairlie, A. Cifu, M. Vasquez, D Hubbard, T Singh) 6. Student Conversations: We never really got to this. 7. Bridgette: Black students are self-segregating. Heather and Tisha creating seating plans. //Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria.// Should we look at some passages for conversation. It is a normal social thing to segregate. This is a school wide issue. Maybe for a PD? Maybe in advisory some kind of lesson plan for personal voice. 8. Clubs: Tonya and Chris are putting together a list of clubs. They meet weekly. There will be per session pay. Some are credit bearing; some are service bearing; some are just for fun. Examples: Model UN, knitting, yoga. Please respond to Chris/Tonya within a week to get it on the official hand out going to students.
