8. Future Topics to Discuss … || Notes 1. We plan to meet on 10/19 after the completed Superintendent's Conference Day.

2. We discussed the topics and conversations from Supt Conf day. This included different approaches to provide opportunities, and time, for students to think about, figure out, and reflect on the main ideas and learning objectives being presented to them. We also discussed the APPR plan for the 17-18 school year.

3. We shared the current inventory and needed items. Ian plans to account for the following: -Stefani and Liz will share with Ian the quantity of HW books that are falling apart. -enVision - order 3 copies of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade student textbook and send to Mike -NY Ready order needed: PA - 4th, 20 VA - 3rd, 4th and 5th - 22 in each grade OT - TBD SH - 5th - 25 -Number Worlds needed, and sent to 5th grade - 1st - 4th units, 15 copies 4th grade - 1st - 4th units, 25 copies 3rd grade - 1st - 4th units, 15 copies 2nd grade - nothing -MITE - We are considering using some of the released NYS questions, as well as the ST Math program this year, instead of the OnCore books.

4. We shared feedback from the work completed from the summer, and discussed our teachers interest to utilize more of the district-wide topic tests.

5. We discussed some initial ideas for the Supt Conf Day on 10/19 where the day will most likely be between 8:00 - 1:00. We will be looking to organize different 90 min - 120 min ST Math sessions during this day for two trainers to rotate between all of our schools. More to come ... Progress/Feedback - We need to continue reminding everyone to use these resources.

6. Ian requested that we look into our usage of the enVision online program. Our online subscription will be expiring at the end of the year, and we can decide to either renew or discontinue our use of these resources.

7. This was the last CC Domain that we believe would be valuable for our teachers to receive. Ian will follow up with any progress about these plans.

8. Next Generation Math Learning Standards - how will we plan for this implementation? ||
