Michael, Hudson and May met to:
Explain the schedule and teaching assignments
Establish the importance of consistency, preparedness and communication for the US Math Department
Review department-wide routines
Create Class Expectations
Develop a broad scope and sequence for 5th - 8th grades
Explore and start to fill out the Common Curriculum Planner
Brief introduction to Blackbaud and met Dyvar
By using the Common Curriculum Planner, we will be able to make sure that the 5th - 7th grade students will have a consistent experience at each grade level. In the resources portion of the planner, I will also be able to provide in-time resources.
As a result of our meeting, I feel we have a great head start into the year with our new teachers Hudson and Michael. I think that meeting over the summer should be a standard practice to help onboard new faculty members!
I really enjoyed my time with your team and the structure and expertise you brought to the meeting days was so wonderful and will be instrumental in the success of the new members on the team. I learned a lot about the program across all grades and appreciate it! I agree that this would be wonderful to include in all new faculty training!
