When President Obama was asked by Buzz Feed to make a PSA (public service announcement) about registering to vote, rumor has it that he came up with this idea himself. I am not sure how much of it was to his credit but the final product was a self-deprecating video explaining everyday-things more difficult than registering to vote. Examples include: how to win at the game of Operation, making friendship bracelets, or naming all the deceased Game of Thrones characters. According to Obama, all are more difficult than registering to vote in the United States.
On Wednesday, the AISC faculty will gather together to work on Atlas Curriculum Mapping Software and I am feeling, like Obama, that Atlas is not that difficult. There are many things more difficult in teaching than Atlas. Examples include: learning all of your students names (especially difficult in High School); remembering a new daily schedule, or starting class after Winter Holiday break. I will work to make Atlas as easy to use and as relevant as I can. All I need you to do is show up with an open mind. Below is what I am asking of you for the meeting. No additional preparation is expected.
Agenda for Wednesday August 10, 2016
3:45-5:00 in the FAC
Two developing areas for the Raptor Way Blog
AISC Professional Learning Opportunities
