Q: Can we switch PLC groups at some point in the year for variety. A: The understanding was that it was for the year and that Collab time will hopefully provide some of that variety. Q: What is going on with the make-up foresight test? A: Lisa brought it up at CISC. Hopefully make-ups in the first wek after the test would be handled like any test make-up. This was unresolved in the end of the meeting. Scoring of the test will happen tomorrow. Concerned raised about how much instructional time is missed to give this test so often. Q: Are we worried about the Alg 2 5.0 kids who are sophomores not getting this test? A: We really don't need a lot of data on them because only one of these kids is not proficient.
