FRIDAY MEETING AGENDA
Here's a playlist if you prefer to learn more by viewing. The focus is Checking for Understanding. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyT_RUDxNqIVB_0VmVZ8lahS0NaC7G1oq
I'm not going to pretend that we will actually get to the curriculum snapshots. They should be updated weekly. I do read them to keep up with what you are doing.
We'll discuss Madeline Hunter's work specifically Checking for Understanding or CFU (Teach Like a Champion).

THIS WEEK AT BALLY FOR STAFF
For summatives:
1. Have evidence uploaded for domains 1 and 4
2. Have your domains 1 and 4 rubric highlighted.
3. I was planning on a rotating sub, but the majority of you guys signed up during one of your plans. I anticipate each summative to only take 30 minutes of the 45 scheduled. I adjusted the rest of you to plannings. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1706DFd7mupFR2bMZbRT5Qp_-h-OcqHGL5rk2taiujFI/edit#gid=0
