Attendance:  Funk, Kelly, Tinker, Roy

In looking at MAP scores, teachers definitely saw a correlation between MAP scores and Civics tests Pass rate.

How can we use the MAP scores to differentiate instruction in the Social Studies Classroom
Suggestions Include:  Differentiated Reading, Flexible Grouping, Using the scores to create awareness of who to push into AP or close to AP. 

Funk sees that students struggle with retention more so that comprehension.   If she isn't there to provide "training wheels" during formative assessments, the students shut down or struggle.

Kelly is seeing improvement in his openings and exit slips.   He stopped using the folder method and is collecting the papers at the end of each day. 

Mr. Tinker tries several methods to turning in materials to motivate students.

Mr. Tinker is loving the 2-column notes method.  Give them time to write what the see in one column and process in the second column. 

Team will need books and resources (if new standards pass) about state and local history.
