=Return to 2011-2012 overview page: http://ckecisln.wikispaces.com/CKEC+ISLN+2011-2012+Meetings= --This month we learned how to use a rubric for analyzing our PLCs/Teacher Teams and reflected on how leadership teams & culture influence student learning. --In addition we looked for results and determined what conclusions might be drawn from the KY Tell Data, as well as reviewed what can be learned about teacher effectiveness from student survey data used in the Gates Measures of Effective Teaching Project. --In the ELA mini-session we reviewed some additional sample modules and in the Math mini-session we reviewed a new Formative Assessment Lesson and reflected on how it requires planning, effective questioning, a growthmindset and CHETL.

__ JANUARY MEETING FOLLOW-UP: __ After the meeting Jessamine County made a prezi of the wordles for the English Language Arts standards similar to the Mathematics one I shared with you. Here are the links to each prezi so you can see the "Big Rocks" that are the big ideas for each grade/course in both content areas: To prepare for the spring K-PREP assessments, several K-PREP administration documents have been shared on the KDE website. Additional materials will be posted as available. Some of the new materials include: @http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Administrative+Resources/Testing+and+Reporting+/District+Support/K-PREP+Assessments/K-PREP+Administration+Materials.htm New samplers for reading and mathematics K-PREP items have been posted to the Sample Assessment Items for K-PREP page. They include items and student response space for grades 3 through 8. @http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Administrative+Resources/Testing+and+Reporting+/District+Support/Link+to+Released+Items/Sample+Assessment+Items+for+K-PREP.htm The Kentucky Board of Education approved final revisions to 703 KAR 5:070, //the Inclusion of Special Populations in the State-Required Assessment and Accountability Program//, at its Wednesday, February 1 meeting. The Kentucky Department of Education has confirmed that the legal and legislative processes still required for the regulation will delay the effective date. The new accommodation changes will **NOT** impact spring 2012 testing. The Office of Assessment and Accountability will further discuss the changes to the Inclusion Regulation at the upcoming District Assessment Coordinator trainings this month. In preparation for the 2012 spring assessments, please continue to use the existing 703 KAR 5:070 Inclusion of Special Populations regulation, dated February 12, 2009. The regulation and links to training materials are located at the following link @http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Administrative+Resources/Testing+and+Reporting+/District+Support/Assessment+Regulations+and+Training/Administration+Code+Training+Materials.htm. The new accommodation changes will be effective for the 2012-13 academic year. Districts need to continue planning for the revised accommodation procedures in the new school year, particularly how districts will support teachers to ensure students become independent readers and are able to perform the required math computations without the aid of a calculator. ||
