AP's are asked to read Chapters 14- 16 for April 16. In order to be prepared to discuss the readings at the AP meeting in January, please consider the following:
- What is the current state of your digital documents? How might you begin to improve their effectiveness?
- Moving forward, what will you tackle? In what order?
- How has your time management and/or organization changed this year?

RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Overcoming the Achievement Gap Trap: Liberating Mindsets to Effect Change
This book, by Dr. Anthony Muhammad, was the Teacher Leadership Book Study book in February - we had over 75 teachers across the district read this book. Many of the participants asked me if their administrators had read this book. If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend you consider it. I have 3 copies available to loan people (first come, first serve) if you are interested.
