Our Interests

• In the 1st meeting we demonstrated that we have
  interests in common
• Teacher and staff development
• Maximizing the potential of all students
• Addressing the gaps by studying student,
  teacher and curriculum issues
• Using curriculum to motivate our students

23
Our Instructions

• John Thein has given us guidance. We are
  required to examine
• Current academic standards and strategies to
  prepare successful students
• Possible cooperative ventures
• Best instructional practices and curriculum to
  support high academic achievement

24
Our Structure

• We will get more done by dividing into 3
  subgroups
• Each subgroup will have 6 members and 1 leader
• Each subgroup will focus on answering 1 key
  question
• Subgroups will meet independently and report back
  to the full group for feedback

25
Subgroup 1

• This group will answer the following question
• How do we define success for our students, and
  what skills do they need to be successful?

26
Subgroup 2

• This group will answer the following question
• How can the District ensure that we have the
  highest performing and most motivated staff?

27
Subgroup 3

• This group will answer the following question
• What are the programs and curriculum content
  that our students need to be successful?

28
Our Process

• March Get organized
• April Subgroups make progress reports and get
  large group feedback
• May - Subgroups make progress reports and get
  large group feedback
• June Subgroups make final recommendations, and
  the large group reaches consensus

29
Subgroup Work

• Subgroups meet between large meetings wherever
  and whenever they choose
• Subgroups use their own knowledge, talents,
  backgrounds, interests and contacts to seek,
  discuss and recommend innovative ideas and
  approaches to their issues
• Subgroups finish by providing written
  recommendations

30
After the Subgroups

  subgroups and create a final set of written
  recommendations to go to John Thein from the
  Achievement Committee
