Greetings Teachers! Here we go with this summer's PST Altona 2.0! Every Weekend I will have a new post with guiding questins that will relate to our three goals of the PST:
1. Horizontal and Vertical Alignment of Course Syllabi and other other areas of operation.
2. Develop a generic Curriculum Map.
3. Refine DSOAH procedures.
You may cmment on the questions or other's comments, but you must comment weekly! To enter a comment you must have a user account. When you try and enter said comment you will be directed how to obtain one!
During our first meeting we reviewed Standards-based Instruction, including relooping and grading in a Standards environment. We reviewed DSOAH and had a sneak peek at the new Grading Scale. You also received your first packet (if you were not at the first meeting packets are on my desk - see Pat and she'll get you one).
Your homework before our next meeting (June 9th) are selected readings from The Art and Science of Teaching and Result's Now.
This week's question:
What do we need to do as a staff to move beyond Standards Reference to a Standards Based system? What would be the most valuable work?

Planning for Next Year!
This clip is what this spring was all about, and what next year will be like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t39EAeE8ehc
Please visit Altona's website and check out our LEAD plans! Besides revamping our extracurricular activities, we will redesign homework club, implement a new student management system (Infinite Campus - which will replace SMS, Engrade, K12Planet, etc.), become a center school for Students with Significant Needs, adopt a new universal student data tool (Alpine Achievement), and continue to analyze our two new curriculums in Math and Science.
I'm really excited about where we are heading. This summer the majority of the Altona will participate in a Professional Study Team. Like last summer I'd like to invite you to stop by and check out our conversations in this blog.
Thanks for reading my blog, and your comments are always welcome.
