Important Reminders
Assessment Planning Days
Teams you may wear jeans/sweats for your day.  Please bring any data you have gathered for your learners for this year to get us started digging into data!  We will have an agenda to follow and you will have time to plan specific learning groups for differentiating instruction.  Also, you will have time to focus on goal setting for learners as well as we will set our SLO (Student Learning Objective) goals together.  

TLC Assignment - Twitter
Remember that you have your virtual assignment from last week's blog Curriculum Connection about Twitter.  This was so we could implement virtual learning/sharing as well as face to face.   Please remember that this is a requirement, not an option and we will be following up to ensure everyone is participating.  See the curriculum connection within the blog from last week and do the assignment by. . . Due date:  Friday, September 29th
