 * **WRITING**
 * NOTES FROM FEBRUARY MEETING
 * =====The group took an intial look at aligning the stages with the AGSD Writing Framework and the PA Writing Domain Scoring Guide =====
 * =====There seems to be an overall alignment =====
 * =====Consideration needs to be given to the aspect of genre on the stages - the report card identifies the instructed genre, but the current stages do not differentiate by genre =====
 * =====A suggestion to have a distinct progress sheet for each genre =====
 * =====**At the next meeting, cut and paste the stages & writing framework by stage/grade level for easier comparison **=====
 * =====**Consideration needs to be given to the use of the writing rubric in assessment **=====
 * =====How would that work with the stages =====
 * =How can we ensure that students are reflecting on their writing by seeing the match between what was taught and what they utilized =
 * **Please bring a few student writing samples, your Writing Notebook and PA Writing Rubric**
 * MINUTES:**
 * ===== Use the PA PRIMARY WRITING RUBRIC – one for each genre =====
 * ===== Remove Writing Stage from Report Card; only report out the Indicator =====
 * ===== Revise Parent Guide =====
 * See sample - [[file:writing_progress_sheets_agsd_framework_2011.docx]]
 * Used the Personal Narrative Rubric to score a few sample writing pieces
 * Found the rubric to be easy to use
 * Discussion was necessary - there is some subjectivity in scoring with a domain
 * PD in the use of a domain scoring guide will be needed
 * Made two changes in the Kindergarten AGSD Writing Framework criteria (Organization: has logical order, Style: Uses description) for clarity
