We (sort of) had our first department meeting today in room 151 Korematsu at 1:50pm. Except that administrators came in and took over the entire time.
Mr. Morales first led us in some discussion of norms. We were rushed owing to the need to provide time for other administrators so we basically agreed to be nice to each other.
Mr. Wallbridge told us about pacing guides, which are being introduced to 10th through 12th grades this year. Tenth grade will have two companion classes. Mr. Chaja said ninth grade CST scores were up, which he attributed to pacing guides and companion classes.
Lucy and Jen agreed to mentor new teachers, so Mr. English and Mr. Sheridan will look to Lucy. Ms. Ford and Ms. Legakis will look to Jen.
I will be going around and trying to collect more pacing guides this week.
Next meeting is Thursday, September 20th at 3:30pm. I'd like to hold it on the main campus since we, I think, agreed to rotate the meetings between FTK and the main campus this year. I'll let you know where it will be.
There wasn't time to craft an agenda for the September meeting so if you have ideas please tell me!
