PD April 26, 2013

Professional Development in the library

Mr. Watson went over the inaccurate PD Dates and Topics handout and then amended the previously distributed agenda. (Yes, a tad confusing).

Mr. Watson then discussed the displacements and expected staffing for next year. We have 19 positions available for next year. 

He then talked about the April 30th meeting and response from the Westwood community schools,  Saturn families, and our school community. 

We talked about how to make sure our sixth and seventh grade students are clear about what going charter means. 

The agenda will look like: 
Watson discussing what it means to be an affiliated charter. 
PACE will help convey that this is a community effort.
One LA will be there, offering translation and advocating for the current feeder pattern. 
Academies will then present who they are. 

We then broke into academies...

April 9, 2013

We are meeting in Ms. Parker's room. We started with announcements. There will be no charter co-location at Emerson next year. Departments need to get supply requests in asap so orders can be made.

Parents: Feldman and Bolinger made some announcements about the message going out about the charter development.

Then Ms. Parker spoke about her manifesto and moving toward a community school.

We then moved into our groups for charter development.

After our meetings we met in grade levels.
