Topics of Discussion:
Meeting was called to order at 6.00
Progress regarding the current goals were discussed focused was placed on the development off specific
teacher groups based on the goals. We discussed the creation of the building based PLC's and what each
group had focused on in relation to the School improvement plan.
Questions were raised about how and why the various groups were formed. We discussed that in addition to
the school improvement plan goals there were several other areas that needed be addressed by the faculty
and administration. However,while many of these groups are not outlined in the school improvement plan (the
did not yet exist at the time of its writing)they were connected (i.e.the group exploring advisory) We then had
a brief discussion on the importance of some fonn of advisory at the middle school level. The group was
informed that the building based PLC's were sharing at the end of the month.
Ricki Shankland proposed a goal for the upcoming school improvement plan be based on the development of
an advisory program. She also proposed the drafting of a few goals for discussion at the next meeting.
