Teachers in attendance:
 * Where are you on your long-range plans, pacing, and content standards?
 * After the analysis of nine weeks tests and grades, how will you address student strengths and weaknesses?
 * How have you used your student’s scores (PASS, MAP, formative/summative assessments, grade distribution sheets) to differentiate instruction?
 * Where did this week’s learning goals fall within Bloom’s Taxonomy?
 * In looking at your last assessment (formative/summative), identify the level of Bloom’s utilized within the assessment.
