Brief introduction to Blackbaud and met Dyvar
This has been extremely helpful for me to chunk out the on-boarding process, Orientation at a new school can be a little like drinking from a fire hydrant with copious amounts of information shared over just two or three days. This allowed me to focus on the curriculum planning process for my specific course assignmnets and provided some much valued work time to start creating my curriculum both in the Common Curriculum Planner/Daily Agendas. Also helpful, to begin bouncing ideas and building working relationship with May as the Math Specialist as well as Hudson Dougan.
