Department Meeting Professional Development

Today, the Ides of March, we met in departments. I'm in Carrie's room for the English department meeting discussing our favorite topic...  wait for it... upcoming SPA!!!  The dates are April 6 - 8 and they are due to the district on the 11th.  We also need to keep in mind that CSTs are coming two weeks after spring break.

History is meeting in 202, math is in 130 or at UNI, science is in 128, PE is in the girls' PE office, ESL is in 104, electives are in 7 and special ed. your in room 221.

The eighth grade English teachers then had the chance to work with Meghan on SDAIE lessons.  Meghan went over the criteria for selecting our classes and we need to design 5 lessons utilizing the Universal Access Lesson Design Template.

Lily, Tiki, Meghan and I all sat down to hash out our first lesson focusing on Response to Lit. We hope to focus on supporting our theses with paraphrasing and quoting literature.  We came up with some language objectives and language forms.  Whew.  We will get together again to complete the lesson template and figure out our next steps.
