Principals’ Conference
Ray Rothe presented on Curriculum mapping. Principals discussed benefits and administrative considerations of process. Emphasis was on the nature of the process: It is reflective(diary maps). It is collaborative(regular grade level meetings). It is student centered. Considerations of software, timelines, and staff concerns were also discussed.
Joint Operations model was recieved and discussed. The principals will take the model to school boards over the next several months for reflection. The model included curriculuar impact items including the feasiblity of a shared teacher for Spanish, Technology, Band, or Learning Coordinator position. Principals will bring results back at the August conference and forward the results to the task force in late summer.
