Meeting+Summaries+and+Notes

November 18th: Chapters 1-3

The discussion today centered around assessment (grades) and how we are implementing some of these new literacy ideas in our classroom. We also discussed our struggles with giving the responsibility for learning over to the students and having a more "hands off" approach.

Key questions: How do we "grade" students when they are not completing worksheets etc...?  Could we develop a rubric to use on the report card instead of giving a grade?

Next meeting is December 16th. We are reading Chapters 4 and 5.
