What a wonderful way to celebrate Wellbeing with a week of devoted activities and a day off for Tamil New Year’s Day! A huge thank you to the Wellbeing Steering Committee for organizing Well Week and especially, Jack Bissonette for leading the committee and the cause.
Faculty Meeting: Focus on Curriculum, April 21, 2021
The purpose of Wednesday, April 21st’s faculty meeting is for each vertical team to finish working through their SMART goals for curriculum documentation. You will have the entire 3:45-5:00 PM meeting time to work in your groups. We will not be meeting together first.
Like before, I thought it was best to continue to have each of the Vertical Teams and Members to have their own Zoom/Google Meeting Link. Please find your meeting link to the April 21 Vertical Team’s Meeting Link Central Document here.
Once in Zoom/Google Meetings with your team or department, you will begin working on your goals as stated in the Vertical Team Planner. It is the department or team’s responsibility to create the agenda to accomplish the goals for the day.
Please continue to use the Unit Self-Assessment Tool to review a unit as needed as well as the other documents listed below. Learning Coaches and members of C5 are available during the meeting time to offer support, C5 & Coaching Collaborative Central ZOOM meeting on Wednesday, April 21, 3:45-5:00 PM.
