GOAL TEAM PLAN
- All remaining meetings will be “grade level meetings” (with next year’s team).
- With your grade level team, complete your second PBL Unit Plan (link to the common district unit plan that you are expected to use is here: Unit Plan) by April 15th. This unit should be planned (to teach next year...). You will only be accountable for "planning" a second unit plan-teaching it this year is optional.
- Evaluate your plan using the: Project Design Rubric
- April 15th: Each grade level will share their completed unit plan (and evaluation)
- Information: Previous presentations will be at the PBL button above on Canvas, just in case you need a refresher.
- Austin Rutledge will be here on Friday, March 18th during your grade level plan time. Please plan to utilize Austin as a resource-come with all/any questions you have about PBL & your specific Unit Plan. This will count as our GLTM's for March.
- Innovation Team will be attending a conference in February to support our growth in PBL. Knowledge will be shared with all staff upon our return.

This is not your typical "Amazing Teacher" video-keep watching until the end!
An Email that made me even more proud!! Let Donald know Monday if you need support!
Mrs. Magers,
Please pass along my gratitude to your staff. They were so positive and fun to work with this morning! I really appreciated how well they listened – I can’t say it’s been that way at every deployment so it was an especially great way to start the day.
Donald will be back most of Monday to work with them on any questions they may have.
Thank you,
Erin Downing
