For this meeting, please be sure to print out your professional growth plan for this meeting. You can do this by logging onto TalentEd Perform and selecting "2014/2015" in the drop down menu labeled "school year." After selecting last school year, click on "view" your professional growth plan. There should be an option to print your professional growth plan on this page. Part of our discussion as a team is going to be managing our Professional Growth Plans!
In addition, please be sure you have read the following pages in the SRI Professional Learning Guide:
- Grades K-1- Read pages 8-14 and pages 47-48

Highlight key components so we can develop a scaffold of understanding as a team.
