Here are some notes from our school's professional development meeting (5/2/08):
Everybody's feeling the "end of the year blues" including low student morale, increased drug/alcohol usage, drug deals, no work, cutting, insults toward each other,
Main issues we need to address:
*How to get to June w/health and integrity (adults)
*Students' Behavior
*Superintendent coming Wed.
Suggestions for writing:
1. Have students record their ideas (paragraph by paragraph) on GarageBand and then transcribe their work into a draft.
2. Show them how an essay can "grow" on an LCD screen for all to see.
1st Period Elective Class: will modify next year
Superintendent Coming next Wed. 5/7--Be Prepared to discuss all your issues!
1. Forced to choose: Guidance Counselor vs. Support Services Director
Academic Credit Analysis vs. Barriers to learning
Mention tedious tasks
2. School Safety: need more folks, consider population
