Week of November 3rd
"When we know Why we do what we do, everything falls into place. When we don't Why we do what we do, we have to push things into place." -Simon Sinek
Transformation in Action Visits
- When - Tuesday, November 4th 9:00-11:00 & 12:45-2:00
- Who - Educators/Administrators from Lewsiville, Highland Park, and Richardson ISD
- What - They will be looking for evidence/exemplars of formative assessment
This will be a busy day, especially because we have several educators participating in the Math training that will be held in C201. I will provide our visitors with a map and list of rooms that are available (excluding rooms w/ subs).
Thank you for planning ahead for this day and helping make sure our building is ready for visitors!
Learning Design
PBL Workshop
This will be a great opportunity to work with our PBL Coaches and other PBL educators within the district!
Let's Get Blending!
- Who - 10 Austin Educators
- What - 11 MacBooks (1 educator + 10 learner) and an Apple TV to pilot a blended learning design
- Why - This pilot will allow you more resources and flexibility in designing customized learning experiences (see video above).
- How - Ongoing professional learning will provide you with the support to make the most of this grant.
- When - SOON! We will discuss this much more in depth at our Faculty Meeting this week. For now, consider whether or not this is something you would be interested in committing to.
