3.  Common Assessment-we looked at the questions and had discussion and made modifications to some of the test questions.  We also looked at the suggested testing schedule/format and decided to narrow the ELA test to 8 Multiple Choice and 2 short answer.  The math test has 24 MC and 2 short answer.  The test is scheduled for December 15 from 9-11:10 with a 5 minute break in between ELA and Math.
We also shared a goal setting sheet for students to use to set goals.
A reminder that the PAWS rubric should also be used (Krystal emailed to team members),

PLC December 1st

December 1st PLC Meeting Minutes

1.  hour of code presentation and discussion that some classes would do as whole group and some would borrow chrome books to allow individual students to participate.

2.  We looked at Common Assessment to make sure the standards were on the questions.  We also started to look at the test questions to determine the level of bloom's.  We had difficulty with the first Math short answer question and had lots of discussion about the question.
(We ended up changing the question completely to ensure the new question met the standard and was more clear for students to understand.)
