MVHS

• What worked – teaching to new standards this year? The financial piece in econ. has worked well this year.

• What didn’t work – teaching to new standards this year? Econ. feels like it was jammed in and they did not like how it effected the flow of the class.

• What might be the areas of overlap between our grade levels (including ones you've heard about from students/other teachers at the MS level)?

It would be nice if we could see a technology overlap that allowed every student to have their own laptop from 7th grade on.

• What might be the areas of gap between our grade levels and in our own grade level?

SS classes at the middle school level are being cut, kids are not coming in with enough background in our area. Some do not have history for a year.

• What are ways you have endeavored to integrate/support the new financial literacy requirements?

We have adhered to the integration of financial literacy in econ.

•Technology support- what do you need? (e.g. Doc Cams/iPods @ BHS - Mimeo @ MVHS & BHS)

Internet is terrible, it does no good to have technology when the server can't support the speed we need. It would be nice to have a laptop for every student. Training on the mimio boards please! More training on websites and tool we can use in SS (like the ones Carin just did)........
