To follow up from our staff share last week:
Please use the link below to sign up for Beginning of the Year Conferences. If we find that the early dates do not allow adequate time to compile data for SLOs or if we are short on time slots, we can always add a few more.
Below are links to important documents that help guide our conversations and allow ZTEP folks an opportunity to present data that supports your work in domains 1 and 3 (Plus folks, domain 5). Please send me the documents before our meeting and I will upload them as an artifact to SFS.
Please let me know if you would like help with SLOs. We can set up a session after school. I'd be happy to check if Chris Squier is available to help as well. I know many folks found that session helpful last year.
Although we do cover a lot of information concerning rubric domains and SLOs, these meetings are a wonderful time for me to hear what your goals and aspirations are for the year and the type of support that you need to make those happen.

I keep thinking about his statements about what is "normal?" Just because something is normal for me and my culture does not make it normal for everyone else and their culture. It helps remind me to take a step back and learn from the perspectives of others.
