Notes from May 3, 2016

How does our mission/vision tie into our Bucket Groups?

  • Collaboration
    • K-12 alignment and cross grade levels (vertical and horizontal)
    • Make connections between curriculum, instruction, and assessment
    • Share resources and trainings across the listserv, affiliate members, NDE, other affiliates
    • "Road Map" - have to know where you started or where you are headed or you will never get there
    • Effective practices
  • Leadership
    • If leadership does not have the power to make your curriculum actually happen, then the curriculum is not workth the paper it is written on
    • Effective research practices
    • Empowering teachers to make decisions
    • Training to build our background knowledge.
  • Professionalism
    • Can you work together on the best practices, PLC, implementation?
    • Model professionalism to our schools by the way we interact with each other

Empowering Educators
