New Teacher Orientation

My colleague and I met with the new teachers on August 13th at our campus, to take them on a tour of the building and go through the campus policies and procedures. It was a very casual meeting and we tried not to bore them to tears by reading the entire policies and procedures manual verbatim. They were given bags with teaching materials and other fun things from the administrators. We gave them our cell phone numbers in case they needed anything as most were going to be working on their classrooms. A few teachers e-mailed with questions, so I am glad they are taking advantage of having a mentor team.

Updated Action Research Plan

My updated plan is posted under Week 4, Discussion Board. I am unable to post it on my blog. :( Any suggestions?
I feel that I have planned and planned, and then planned some more. I am ready to put my plan into action!
I found out today that I will have the opportunity as an Instructional Specialist to create DVDs of me implementing specific instructional startegies with small groups of students. teachers will be able to use the DVDs as a resource. Exciting stuff!
