Health Insurance Update:
Health insurance meetings will provide information on the State plan design and the difference between moving to the State plan vs. what our self-insured plan would be for 2017. Also, if anyone is not going to be present on that day and would like to attend another meeting, they are welcome to do so. Once we have all of the times specified on a schedule, I will send that as well so you can let your staff know.

GWES Professional Learning Day: A World of Possibilities
10:00-3:30 Collaborative Team Planning-can include the following:
- Integration of global content into classroom lessons
- PBL planning-remember to create your poster for feedback on Driving question, project summary, 21st century skills, public product) Use of planning template may streamline the process for interweaving standards and 4 Cs.
- Planning for the integration of technology. How might technology help students with the process of learning? The products to demonstrate learning? The content of learning?
- Possible tech fair at Lincoln, feel free to schedule a visit to attend in the afternoon should you or your team like to do so.
- I am assuming your district day providing unit planning and assessment, but the completion of that planning should also be on your schedule for Friday if needed
