Reminders for Secondary PLD Today

Good morning all,

Here is a link to the session sign ups if you need to review your choices. Please attend only the sessions you signed up for.

For the Departmental Collaboration today, please follow this loose structure and adapt as needed for your collaboration:

If you are in multiple departments, please choose one for today. Your department can choose where to meet. Primary is in the LGR at that time.

Grounding: Share something from today’s sessions that you are thinking about
Long Term Department Goals: In the first semester, you wrote some departmental goals in Teams. Please review those goals. Are they still achievable? Are they still a priority? What has been done already? What are the next steps? Revise as necessary.
Short Term Department Goals: What do you want to accomplish this week related to our overall UDL/JEDI focus? Revise aspects of your curriculum? Review assessments? Create language supports/scaffolds? Look at data and plan interventions?
Have a great day!
