Global Engineering and Technology PLC meeting

Subjects for discussion:

November 14th, we will be visited by a landscape architect during advisory for all sophomore advocates, and then take the rest of the day for extended PLC planning.

Mike said that three freshmen girls did not get their articles for the study, so he sent them to Mary McGinty to get briefed on how to access the data systems, but it looks like they will not be prepared for the first review tomorrow, November 1st.

On Monday, November 5th students will receive their question sheets for article analysis, which gives them a full week to compose their responses. Students will be notified that they should, by all means, seek clarification from their teachers. Monday, November 12th their responses are due, and on that Wednesday (November 14th), we will get together to grade articles and plan the next lessons, and identify areas where we need to re-teach. Willard will further his attempts to contact Jessica Miller, intern English teacher for Spring semester, to ascertain if she will be able to join us on the Wednesday meeting (November 14th).

We discussed how various teachers will address the reading aspect of this project, so that students will be producing a piece of writing once a week as they progress.

Mike suggested an assembly for the "Alliance for Climate Education" for next Friday, November 9th or Monday, November 12th, second block or fourth block.

This would happen in the recital hall or the auditorium. It seems that the Friday date will be the better day.

Mike said this assembly fits well with our community and the grants that Mike is working on.

We decided to table our PLC show case presentation planning until the next PLC meeting when we can have everyone here.
