Last year I had big dreams and big plans about our staff meetings and professional learning. I still like the idea, but for now I'm putting the teacher led PD around PBL, Data, and Connected Community on the back burner. We will still cover these topics through our work together, but in opening our new school I can see that we need time in grade levels to talk about Project Lead the Way, the online math curriculum, and data related to sharing students in our differentiation block. We'll need to talk about report cards, and parent conferences are in November. Goal setting and portfolios are coming, too. Many of these topics require some dedicated grade level time, as well as some whole staff time. So, in the next few months I'll be shifting the planned PD schedule related to all of these needs. I will do my best to make sure that you have two Wednesdays dedicated to grade level collaboration on late start Wednesdays. This coming Wednesday at our meeting we'll discuss the schedule and changes. Thanks for all you are doing, and have a great break!
