Meeting NormsToday, let’s all focus on putting

students and families first.

All objectives and intentions are designed to meet the student

FISHBOWLThe purpose of this fishbowl is to surface new ideas for the ExCEL Monthly Meetings.

The inner circle will respond to the prompt, while the outer circle will listen. Then groups will switch places.

Keep students and families foremost in your thoughts as you participate!

What other norms can we agree to follow?

Question PromptWhat do you feel is the

best use of the time at the monthly 2-hour meetings? 

Should there be a general session?  If not, how should the time be utilized? Should there be individual coaching sessions? Workshops?

Should everyone be required to attend? 

Question Prompt 2(if time allows)

How do you ensure implementation of new information at the site level?  What is the best way for ExCEL to support you in that process?

REFLECTION

Write a letter to yourself.

You will receive the letter at the August Institute. It will remain sealed all summer. No one will read it.

Write your intentions for next year:How will you take ownership of

ensuring continuous learning is taking place at your site?

In what ways will you step up next year?

TOAST TIME!

THANK YOU!

Have a great summer. See you next year!
