Key Focus Areas
Understanding Algebraic Fluency
- What does fluency look like in middle school? (e.g., solving equations, manipulating expressions, understanding variables)
Using Academic Monitoring to Drive Instruction
- Defining academic monitoring: collecting and analyzing student learning data over time.
- Distinction between bi-weekly quizzes and comprehensive grading period common assessments.
- Selecting daily spiraling assignments to ensure long-term retention.
Identifying and Addressing Gaps
