Inspire Dreams Start Now for 8th Graders is Tuesday, October 8th!!

Parking Lot from the last Department Meeting:
  • “May we individually choose the days and lessons the chairs come in so they are most likely to see “what’s working”?
  • “If we want to show what’s working for chair walks, why not be able to invite chairs to relevant, shareable, interesting lessons that we want feedback on?
These questions will be discussed at the Department Chair Meetings Tuesday. The  Agenda is linked here
