If possible, (if you haven't already) install dropbox on your computer. I've created a folder to share with everyone and when I add something to the folder, if you have dropbox installed on your computer, you will see a notification that a folder has change.
I have added the AMSTI Guidelines for FY 2013 to the dropbox folder.
I have updated the AMSTI school list with the most current changes of principals. I've added email addresses for the principals and added a column of assistant principals (that we work with) and their email addresses.
Research Articles:
Because of our MSP grant (s) I recieve articles on math and science. Recently, I've been saving the ones that might be of use to us on the "G" drive. There are other articles that I have collected over the years. Anytime you need an article to share in a PD or with a group of teachers, check the "G" drive. There are some really good research articles in the Article folder. The articles from MSP recently have dealt with Common Core for Math and for Science.
Calculators for the End of Course Test
From Steve:
Jeff and Martha Anne are working on a way to check out calculators. They will run it by several directors for “issues glitches” before we send it out.
I apologize that this was tossed upon you –but it happened to us too, without warning.
Please instruct whomever is speaking with schools calling to request calculators to explain that when the department wrote the FAQ, they knew that AMSTI had calculators but didn’t understand almost all were already out in the math classrooms-not stored at the site. If we don’t have calculators available just say we would furnish them if we had them, but they are all already out in schools.
Message should be positive, we wish we could help, but they are already in the schools.
