8:00 am – 9:45 – SLC (with the exception of those in pre-established training)
10:00 – 11:30 – Departmental Planning time – (with the exception of those in pre-established training)
11:30 – 12:30 - Lunch
12:30 – 3:30 – Recordkeeping

In SLC’s, the focus will on an introduction to Design Thinking, and its application to some real opportunities or challenges.  In Department, One priority of course is to provide time to prepare for the Second semester, through reviewing and revising GRASPS.  It is suggested that for at least part of the planning time, you use the lens of our Redesign focus on interdisciplinary, relevant projects that provide student choice and voice, as you review and revise GRASPS for the next semester.

Our Shared Leadership Subcommittee and the Instructional coaches on the ALT Team are working on developing  a PD plan for the yearBlue Engine has begun another community of practice cycle on co-teaching with our co-teaching partners.
