Please submit all travel forms to Lynn by end of the day on December 19th. No guarantee that JSU will them paid before Christmas but it is worth a shot.
White Plains Middle/Calhoun County middle targeted middle schools : would like us to facilitate a workshop for them on Formative Assessment on January 2nd. We are not at work until January 3rd. We need 2 people to present. I'm working on putting it together. Whomever can be there, we can work and plan together the week of the 19th. We may be able to plan on the15th and 16th if you are not in a school. I think I can be there on Jan 2nd, and if I can, then we would only need one more person. I need to check our January schedule at home. It would be from 8:30 - 11:30. So you can swap a 1/2 day at another time for the 1/2 day on January 2nd. Check your schedules and let me know. I'm using Formative Assessment ideas and material from Key Leader Network and Powerful Conversations. It's almost completed including activities. I need to add in some on questioning and rubrics but I've done that before so that will be easy to insert.
Bring your food on Monday. It is Christmas Lunch at the InService Center.
Have a great weekend!
