Discussion Info from Tuesday's Meeting

Several people were interested in knowing if these were the only books we could use. The answer to that question is NO.

Mr. Lawler would like to hear suggestions for other books if you have them.

Jay Swords suggested a group to use Justice with Michael Sandel  http://www.justiceharvard.org/ as a starting poing for practicing the principles of Professional Learning Teams.

The rule is:

1. At least 2 people to study and collaborate.
2. An approval from Mr. Lawler
3. A plan form filled out.

If you would like to work with ME on this project, let me know.

Book Selection for TQ: 2010 and 2011

The DCSD Secondary Initiative is focusing on two areas: Differentiation and Collaborative Learning Teams. It is with this in mind that several books have been suggested for study this year as part of the Teacher Quality staff development process. We will discuss a bit about each book to help you decide if you would like to read one and apply it to your teaching and learning. We will also have individual pages on this blog for each book that people choose to use collaboratively. You will return to the blog to discuss your questions and share your learning.
