  3. Bullying 2013-2014

  4. Grading • Hickory Creek Middle School has adopted the following guidelines for reporting grades for the 2013-14 school year. 50% = Assessment 35% = Student Skills 15% = Independent Practice

  5. Co-Teaching Although the philosophy of Co-Teaching has been in existence for several years within the Frankfort District, starting this year, we have formally introduced it five days per week within several classrooms at both Chelsea and Hickory Creek. Although we have a variety of continuum options available to all students, we pride ourselves in being an inclusive district.

  6. Co-Teaching Within the classroom, your child may have the benefit of two highly qualified, certified teachers! The following models may be used: One Teaches/One Supports Parallel Teaching Station Teaching Alternative Teaching Team Teaching

  7. Positives of Co-Teaching • Increases instructional options for ALL students • Increases overall student performance • Provides support to ALL involved in the educational process • Provides alternatives for teaching options within the classroom • Reduces stigmatization of ALL students by allowing students to be educated within the same setting, instead of segregating students who learn differently

  8. The 8 Mathematical Practices

  9. Math 7 • Number Sense and Systems • Addition and Subtraction of rational numbers • Multiplication and Division of Rational numbers • Geometry • Using Geometry • Triangles • Scale Drawing and Scale factor • Circles • Slicing three dimensional figures • Ratios and Proportions • Rates and Ratios • Direct variation and constant proportionality • Rates and percents • Expressions/Equations/Algebra/Functions • Numerical and Algebraic expressions and equations • Solving Equations and inequalities • Solving Problems with equations and inequalities • Statistics and Probability • Data collection • Comparing populations • Introduction to probability • Probability of compound events

  10. Honors Math • Number Sense and Systems • Addition and Subtraction of rational numbers • Multiplication and Division of Rational numbers • The real number system • Geometry • Using Geometry • Triangles • Circles • Slicing three dimensional figures • Translations, reflections, rotations • Congruence of triangles • Similarity • Congruence of triangles • Line and angle relationship • Volume • Ratios and Proportions • Rates and Ratios • Direct variation and constant proportionality • Rates and percents • Scale drawing and scale factor • Expressions/Equations/Algebra/Functions • Numerical and Algebraic expressions and equations • Solving Equations and inequalities • Solving Problems with equations and inequalities • Linear Equations • Property of Exponents • Statistics and Probability • Data collection • Comparing populations • Introduction to probability • Probability of compound events

  11. HCMS Math Approach Instructional Design Principles Focuses on the Mathematical practices Focuses on how students learn, think, and apply mathematics Daily Lesson Approach Lessons are structured to provide students with various opportunities to reason, to model and to expand on explanations about mathematical ideas. Within each lesson, questions, instructions and worked examples are interleaved to engage students as they develop their own mathematical understanding.

  12. HCMS Math Approach • Math Resources- Carnegie Learning • Instruction built for conceptual understanding and mastery • Contain meaningful math content to support a collaborative, student-centered classroom. • Components of the Resource • Real-World Situations focused on problem-solving • Student Practice Skills • Student Assignments • CCSS aligned curricula • Multiple Learning Styles • Write-In Textbooks

  13. Social Studies • The Federalist Period • The Louisiana Purchase and The War of 1812 • The Illinois Constitution • Geography • Current Events Early American History Review American Colonies Review The French and Indian War The Revolutionary War The United States Constitution

  21. RTI: Response to InterventionA Regular Education Initiative • What is RtI? • Rti is a process designed to help schools focus on high quality interventions that are matched to students and monitored on a frequent basis. • How do we monitor students? • Students participate in universal benchmarking assessments (Math, Reading, and Writing) three times a year- Fall, Winter, and Spring. • What are the benefits of RtI? • The greatest benefit is to eliminate a “wait and fail” approach for students. • If a student is identified for RtI services, the school team, along with the parents/guardians, develop a plan to provide interventions within the general education setting. • For additional information, please stop by the Main Office to pick up a RtI Parent Brochure

  22. Top Ten Tipsfrom formerSeventh Grade Families

  23. 10. Set expectations.Realistically and specifically, guide your student with academic growth goals.Realistically and specifically, guide your student with behavior goals.

  24. 9. Ask to see the student planner.This is a life skill that will pay off now and for many years to come!

  25. 8. Have your student check the “Teacher Pages”.Students can show and share this with you.

  26. 7. Check PowerSchool with your student!Seventh graders need to be the leaders in their education…even if you need to give them a little push to the front of the line.

  27. 6. Model! Share your calendar and upcoming events and obligations. Explain your plan for accomplishing your tasks.

  28. 5. Reflect. Why was this task/test/presentationsuccessful ORnot so successful?

  29. 4. KISS!!!(Keep It Simpleand Short!!!)We all know when we’ve goofed up, and we usually know why.“This action results in this consequence.”

  30. 3. Teach advocacy!Everyone’s ultimate goal is for the student to express what they need to be successful.Have your student practice this with the Team All Star teachers. We support students who speak for their education!

  31. 2. Talk about school everyday!(“Tell me one thing you learned in science, math, social studies, E.L.A., and Encore.”)Share something you’ve learned today.

  32. 1. Celebrate!!!Seventh grade is challenging!Offer a pat on the back when you know it is deserved.
