Planning for A Greater Presence

At Wednesday's CFG you will need:

-Your favorite note taking device

-Your computer or tablet to access these protocols:

-Your calendar

Our work will center around observation protocols, though perhaps these questions may guide us toward opening up our definition of what it means to use them:

-What experiences, positive and negative, have formed your associations around the word 'observation?'

-What changes would you need to make in your daily or weekly schedule to consider yourself connected to another classroom?

-What kind of collaboration or support can you envision enhancing your own classroom? Who might be able to provide it? What kind of invitations would initiate it?

-What do you think might change if LS teachers had a greater presence in one another's classrooms?  Of these changes, which seems the most achievable on a short term basis? Which would require a more detailed plan?
