We discussed staff development needs.
As specialists, our suggestions for professional development are as follows:
How to read and interpret data
How to incorporate reading into different specialist areas
Incorporating global awareness into lessons with and without technology
Work sessions for developing lessons using technology, global awareness, and Marzano’s strategies & Essential Questions
Time management - personal & professional

We discussed the Paws – are Hall Paws still in effect? Who is responsible for checking on homework completion each week? Are teachers supposed to let someone (Ms. Morning?) know if the class completes homework?

Ms. Crim discussed the career fair. It will take place in April. Ms. Crim is working with Ms. Morning and will present the plans for the career fair. So far it seems that K-2 will only go to one speaker. Some discussion was held about how many speakers grades 3 - 5 should get to see and how students should be assigned/choose their speakers.
Contact Ms. Crim if you have ideas for volunteers & ideas for the career fair.
