We Made It!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday break after just a couple of days this week. As you know, I'll be out on leave, but since I'm sure I'll be bored out of my mind, I plan to keep up with emails and texts. If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me!!
Big Congratulations to Karl!!
Karl was offered (pending Board approval) and has accepted the Technology Coordinator position. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the committee.
Inservice Admin Needs...
As you know, we're a little short of administrators (missing Kent, Dan, me??) on Wednesday so a rotation like what we did last December will not be feasible.
Please look at the Inservice Schedule as I have assigned remaining admin to various rooms in ROW 2.
- Gabe, Janice, and Amy -- I know you're all going to the Pearson presentation. Please leave occasionally to check in on your other group(s) and make sure they're on task.
- Adam -- Can you stay with ELA to keep them from impasse??
- Just like in the past....our role is to keep them talking to each other and keep the focus on kids and district goals.
New Business: Coaching with Amy Moore -- Please coordinate soon!
- I believe you all have your dates. You will need to work on a schedule for your building and coordinate with Amy. She is very difficult to get ahold of (sometimes taking up to a week to respond), so the earlier you can work out your plan, the better!!
- Amy will only prepare for TWO LESSONS. She can repeat a lesson twice, but plan for only 2 different lessons on your date. She will need the topics from teachers a few days in advance and she may need copies made (heads up for your secretaries).
- Amy will have frontloaded discussion with teachers before the model lessons and debrief with with them after.
- Below is the schedule Dan is using. With coverage, he only needed 1 possible sub. Amy has approved of this schedule -- feel free to use the structure as you plan for yours:
1st period - Pre conference meeting
2nd period - Goodwin (Math 7 regular - same topic as 3rd)
3rd period - Shelly (Math 7 advanced - same topic as 2nd)
4th period - Discussion / Lunch with Amy
5th period - Seich (Math 8 same topic as 6nd period)
6th period - Brimmer (Math 8 same topic as 5th period)
7th period & IE - Post conference discussions with Amy
