Policy/Procedure
Writley.com was introduced as collaborative tool for writing policy and exchanging other ideas.
  • Current AUP was addressed as first policy to update
  • To update, members can start by jotting current violations and allocating them into degree categories
Financing
Individual department items to be approved if Budget passes.

Staff Development
CSLO - Common Set of Learning Objectives
  • workshops are available via BOCES
  • sub pay reimbursed
  • purchase hardware through BOCES therefore BOCES needs to make sure teachers are trained.
  • Two ways to be trained:
    • Regional Workshops- (3x per year) 2 people per school
    • BOCES comes to us (customized workshops)
  • We need to utilize these days. We usually don't because of lack of staff development days and lack of awareness of the workshops
Technology Integration
Think Bright- Assignment Builder online. Pages with directions will be put in faculty room.

My Teacher Pages:
  • Course Available during the summer and fall via the TC
Eschool Data
