PLC Meeting Minutes 10-20-2009

Attending: Crim, Burkhead, Pate, Smith, Muzzy, McKenzie (arrived late)

We had a HYIS/SIOP (High yield Instructional Strategies / Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) overview presentation by Rosie Turner from Title I office

We received handouts of the PPT slides – see Ms. McKenzie if you would like copies.

Emphasis: strategies used to help ESL students help all students

Handouts will be posted in Learning Village and Ms. Morning will get an email copy of the PPT presentation.

There will be SIOP meetings on Nov. 24 for grades 3 – 5 and Nov. 30 for K-2.

We discussed the Marzano strategies, which are emphasized for SIOP as well, and in pairs talked about the ones that we felt were most important before sharing with the group.

One of the handouts gives a description of the LEP levels with suggestions of strategies to use with each level.

Emphasis was given to the non-linguistic representation strategy as well as similarities and differences. Those of us who were present need to register for the SIOP training – we will get credit for it.

Our thoughts are with Ms. Farthing as she recovers from her surgery.
