Tomorrow's weather sounds ugleeeee so we may not have school. Nothing to worry about because I cannot control it. I am working on the in-service presentation and Photostory presentations. I have some time, but I want to be well-prepared for them, especially the in-service because teachers can be a tough audience. I guess it is good that I am old because they may have pity upon me. I am still preparing the embedded learning groups and will have three running simultaneously. I did find a facilitator for the math one. I did not relish doing three of them. Getting the paperwork done for all of them is quite time consuming. I am out and about visiting classes and talking with teachers. The new tech dude is doing well and taking a lot off of the plate. He will assimilate well, I am hopeful. I am just forging ahead and getting things moving at PV. My prinicpal sent to me a wonderful article entitled Benchmarking for Success: Ensuring U.S. Students Receive a World-Class Education. It is quite long, but I think you should read it. I do believe that it postulates what we have been saying since CFF's inception. http://www.achieve.org/files/BenchmarkingforSuccess.pdf Maybe tomorrow, if not the next day......flick
