Revisit open response rubric to be more transparent about points and language in the 0-5 range. Postphone Data Analysis of mid-term exams for a late entry or early release, when there is more complete data. Professional Development: - Teachers looking forward to time uninterrupt time to work on UbD units and to plan with members of their content teams. || HS || Full-Day J364 &J363 Greg & Wendy's Rooms ||  ||  || **Outcomes** U.S. I : Updated Stage 1 drafts for The Nation Splits Apart, Nationalism and Sectionalism, and The New republic. Reviewed and revised the new Generation Citizen curriculum and timeline for implementation. Need to clean up the Generation Citizen page on the wikipage, and have two more units to complete Stage 1 on for USI (Reform and the Civil War). Still need time to implement the suggested changes for the Constitutional Rights unit for the DESE https://historymalden.wikispaces.com/Curriculum+Map+USI U.S. II : World History : || Greg's Room ||  ||   ||  || Content Teams: USI - Dana Marie, Ann, Kerry, Damian US II – Rick, Mike, Kevin, Wendy World – Greg, Jamie, Marsha, Jon, Matt || 1) All teachers will be working with their classes on Model UN upon the completion of the World War I model unit as the CEPA lends itself quite well to Model UN. 2) Teachers of World History will host a mini-conference by the end of 3rd quarter in which every student gets a chance to participate in a conference. 3) Students attending the March 8 conference will be working with teachers after school to prepare for the conference. Position papers are due by (March 4. 4) Rebecca Corcoran will be at MHS all day on Tuesday, March 3. After school she will coach our students on coalition building for the purpose of resolution writing with other countries at the conference. 5) Each teacher will submit the names of their students for the Regional Conference by March 1 (Friday of this week).
 * Create one unit per quarter, Stage 1. Stage 2 is optional, but if you have a clear idea for a CEPA, go for it!
 * Refer to the pacing guide to re-group topics or “Big Ideas” (remember you do not have to combine topics the way the book does).
 * Collaboratively create one unit as a model or divide units amongst team members.
 * **Guidelines:** Two teachers to one unit; select a unit of interest or concern, design stage one only, share with entire content team; revise; post to historymalden.wikispaces.com/school/grade/course
 * Refer to the UbD page for examples, strategies, and tips on UbD
 * If time allows, implement, jot down feedback, and collect student work
 * Work posted to grade/course page
 * Table with a work plan for moving the units forward: teachers; unit; work schedule; posted to history Wikispace. ||
