Altona 3.0 2 weeks for 1!

Last week I posed an interestinq question regarding DSOAH.

Would this be possible:
Date
Outcome
Essential Question(s)
Activities
Homework
Ticket Out The Door (Daily Formative Assessment)

This reflects UBD and the Revised State Standards

What do you think of this as best practice and reality collide?

Let's see what you think!

Altona 3.0

Meeting #1

Our first meeting's agenda was packed!

We Reviewed the District's SBE Philosophy, we began unpacking our individual revised standards, and we read through Technique #7 - The 4 MS.

1. What were your initial thoughts regarding the District's SBE Philosophy?
2. What were your initial thoughts regarding the revised State Standards, particularly 21st Skills?
3. When we begin thinking about best practices regarding: objectives, outcomes, essential learnings, etc. (whatever we decide to call it) do the 4 MS crystallize your thoughts or muddy the waters? If asked minutes before instruction, could you articulate your goals for that day of instruction using the 4 MS?

Next Week:
UBD Review!

Thanks,

Notes from meeting #1.

We began our conversation by outlining our purposes and intents.

This past year the 4 principals began meeting on a regular basis and we began discussing how to become a stronger feeder system. As we developed ideas it was clear that we should have a PST to brainstorm other initiatives with elements from our respective faculties.

Our PST purpose is to identify, plan and implement some common areas to work on together. Most importantly, to have a plan in place by the end of the PST to begin working together for the 2010/11 school year.

Yesterday we compared/contrasted two schools goals, and we will continue that with the other two schools goals next week.

Ideas:

School Goals (keeping in mind goal setting and accountability will change with the new state accreditation requirements). We will have CSAP results before the PST ends.
PBS
Closing gaps
Summer Schools
Tutoring
Homework Clubs
21st Century Skills
Leadership
Vocabulary – I’ll have selected readings next week
Adopt a feeder charity
College in Colorado
Transitions
Increased communication (IEP, ALP, ILP, At-risk, etc.)
Teacher swap days

Questions or thoughts?

Did anyone come up with other ideas?
What should a true k-12 feeder experience be like?


Next meeting:
Compare/contrast school goals
Vocab Readings
Narrow the possible things to work together
