- Discussion of Alternating Weekly Math/ELA CLT Focus
- Team Needs- Agenda will be shared out Sunday evening- BE SURE to include on your agenda your Curricular Focus
Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!
