Notes from September 30, 2013 Facilitator Meeting  II. PD before school starts: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
 * Appreciated the ability to tailor the learning to the group.
 * Speakers were good
 * Time was good to share and collaborate with other members of the team
 * Morning rotation seemed rushed (3 presentations) Movement was good….changing sessions.
 * LMC: could see videos but hard to see toward the back (Aesop and United Way)
 * Special Services had a “home”, appreciative of that time and place to meet
 * Preschool and K were able to collaborate so there was a continuum of learning
 * Teachers were concerned about the preparation of their rooms, etc.
 * Too much information (drinking out of a fire hose) Need time to process?
 * Time for reflection? What can we use right now?
 * Miscommunication with Curtis full/half day
 * Have the Back to School Celebration before the Professional Learning days.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">Need to keep working and planning as we will have 5 days at the end of school this year and 5 days again in the fall of 2014
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">Follow up on speakers? Problem-based learning?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">III. BLC Leadership Checklist
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">Showed examples. Mr. Berblinger would like us to keep track of this (date and document), send to Berb as you complete each item. Each number will have products associated with them. You do not have to complete them in order. Elimination of unnecessary curriculum. Rubrics? Formative assessments? MTSS If you have questions about what is needed, give Mr. Berblinger a call.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">Needing to create common assessments. Collaboration needed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 80%;">Teachers need to turn in what they are using to the facilitator. Start with math and ELA.
