*E-Portfolio Concerns. Do we need a staff development that creates a comfort level for us?
*Differentiated Instruction: Who's doing it on a daily basis? Sometimes? Who's not doing it all?
We are going to start a process of classroom visitation beginning in November/December. You are expected to visit another team members class a least once per month. We will discuss on 29th of November.
*What data do we need to review at this point to move student academic progress forward? Something other than Westest. We will discuss more on Credit Recovery on 29th.
*21st Century Learning- Can we see it in your rooms? Do we see classroom centered vs teacher centered rooms? Are we engaging students? Do students have an active role? Does every class prepare students for their next grade level?
These are some of the topics we need to focus on. Feedback is essential to making this work.

I think that with differentiated instruction it is important to find a balance. I do some hands on activities like creating posters, brochures that sort of thing but I also think you can over do it with this stuff. I mean if your creating posters and coloring everyday is it still differentiated instruction? I try to find a balance using notes, outlines, united streaming, small group projects, and worksheets. which by the way can be great in some cases, to make sure my students are understanding the material. Now I don't claim to be the next teacher of the year but I think if you mix it up its easier to keep the students interested and engaged.
