In-service on September 27

Tomorrow, the West Marshall School District will be having its second in-service since school has started.  There will be technology discussions with Randy Baker, our technology coordinator.  There will also be time for PLC teams to meet.  Now that we are past our midterm point of the first quarter, data can be contemplated.  The MAP tests will be starting this week for Grades 2 - 9, so discussions will center around that preparation and data collection, too. 

I am also going to have my first Curricular Team meeting.  This committee consists of Natalie Burroughs, Tara Pfantz, Aaron Burdorf, Peggy Hotopp, Denise Coberly, Troy Clark, Dana Craven, Matt Jacobs, and Me.  This team has been developed to take a close look at the status of our current curriculum and how it compares to the Common Core curriculum.  There is a cross-section of curricular experts who will not only inspect their own subject area but also others that are taught in our district.  The hope is for this team to meet a minimum of once a month and then share out to PLC groups in between our meetings.
