We had an excellent meeting on Tuesday. We've concluded that everyone is experiencing challenges across the district. We are looking into skills that are in our curriculum that may be too advanced for the students. More word to follow on that issue.
We also talked about using good literature to teach students not to write the way they talk. It is very important to read to students and to discuss with students what makes writers effective.
We will be having a How to Score Papers workshop in January. It is very informative and will help us all understand where we want the students to be. If we all have that understanding, it will be easier to teach them how to get there.
Look for word of our next meeting.
