Maria, You provided importatn information about the organization that you are working with. As I read your problem statement I wondered which problem you will be addressing in the plan. I understood from reading your plan that there were several. One, the school is switching the test that is administered to the __students__ and teachers are not trained properely to address the test. Two, response systems are being used but technology does not __improve__ test scores. Three, teachers will be paid based on student performance. I see how these tie into each other but also see them as different issues. Is there a technology issue that needs to be addressed at the school? Jackie



__**Leandra to Maria**__ Of your three intervention strategies, I think two of them consider further consideration. Your first intervention for the small group pull out does offer students the additional support they need, but I think that will end up isolating them in the long run. We always want students to have a sense of belonging in the classroom and if they are pulled out, even for a short amount of time, can affect how they feel in the class. In addtion, there's a chance that they will miss out on something that that classroom __teacher__ is doing with the remainder of the class. Ideally, a smaller class size is always best, but can we guarantee that they class sizes will always be at 20 or below. I think that is a tough call. The clickers are a great alternative, but my concern with that is longevity. What would be the cost of maintaining or updating in the future? Module 5 The cost of the equipment to be purchased is: Ferguson has a long standing relationship with Dell Systems, since they provide the vast majority of our desk __and laptops__. More detailed information about the products can be found at:
 * Financial and Budget Information.** Next year Ferguson will have 16 sections of Algebra1 regular which include 4 inclusion __classes__, and 4 sections of Algebra 1 Honors. Regular classes will be capped at 25 students per class but inclusion classes may have as many as 40 students. All the Algebra 1 sections will be distributed among 8 teachers. The inclusion classes will be taught by two teachers, so we will need two class sets of 40 units. The remaining 6 teachers will need sets of 28 units.
