Please plan to facilitate your college prep on your scheduled day (8:15-9:00). We need to hold true to our intervention time…(Whatever day is your scheduled, day, you will have 3 adults in the room, including yourself, the sub and your assigned partner, so you can do something very creative). The remainder of the day (before school 7:20-8:00) and after your college prep may be used for planning with your team.
**All meetings should be held in the conference room, grade level chairs will receive a feedback form to complete minutes for your planning content**
