September 20, 2011 A great day of small meetings and big conversations today. So many topics and improvements already happening. Enjoy working with all of you! - Lisa

September 27, 2011 I spoke with Chris P. about getting you all 'around' the youtube block. He has been working with Jackie H. to make sure every teacher has access from what I understand. PLEASE let Jackie H. know if you are still unable to get around the block and Jackie - let me know if you need more support in this. - Lisa

October 7, 2011 Curriculum Alignment Lisa came to work with Elementary teachers as they used the documents set up for them by Angela. Everyone started with Language Arts and identified the key learning targets by 'theme'. A common language of process was established. All core content teachers will participate in the curriculum alignment process throughout the year.

October 26, 2011 Lisa and Amy from ESU 9 are visiting classrooms to have a better understanding of what supports can be offered for the implementation of the Action Plan. These visits are also to identify strengths toward the Actions and give feedback of things to highlight for the external visit. These are NOT evaluative visits : )

Video streaming options that are 'unblocked'

Science would like current, interesting, 'short and sweet', has already used "Earth" videos...VHS means they have to use TV screen rather than the big screen of the smartboard. Would MUCH rather have media that is not VHS!
