This morning we met as a team to go over our required information for the second meeting. We each brought some artifacts to the meeting to discuss. We also looked at each other’s artifacts in the artifact tracking sheet and discussed our learning gap or instructional gap ratings.
Since we are all in different subject areas it is interesting to see how each of us looks at an example lesson plan. Our lesson plans are all different and when we rated them in the tracking sheet we each came up with items we thought were missing because we are not accustomed to looking at lesson plans in different subject areas.
After working through all of the artifacts and discussing them in relation to the tracking sheet, we were able to decide which subject area and grade level we are now going to focus. We also discussed our exploratory questions and will move forward with the subject of Math, grade 12, calculus. After making that decision, we worked on our next steps and deciding on what other artifacts we needed to include.
Working and learning about the data has been quite interesting but I have also found it to be quite challenging especially in that we seem to be working backwards.
