Pete & C conference notes, CFF meeting notes and PLC log are all located on the @Professional page. An excellent presentation video clip of the keynote speaker for Pete & C is on the @Motivation page.

September notes:
Use the links below to examine lesson plans for the month. REMEMBER, you must use the blue arrow button in the top left corner to return to the previous screen. DO NOT "X" out of a screen in a wiki, you will have to type in the space name again.

October notes:
English and Technology have new lesson plans. Most of the the lessons that I composed for Social Studies fell in the the general category of Technology. There is only one new specific lesson in Social Studies. Remember to check the Cool sites, Motivation and Professional links for additional activities.

November notes:
There are new lessons in each section this month. This month was heavy on the Face to Face training, so check the @Professional link to the right to access all the training sites that were set up for each session. Additional @cool sites were added this month as well. The best resource to emerge this month came from the MCCFF coaches meeting on the 17th. We were given a listing of Web 2.0 tools that can be used as formative assessments. It was very affirming to see that we already have trained and incorporated several of the tools on a regular basis. The formative assessment link can be found on the Professional page under CFF coaches meeting notes.

December notes:
December started with a career day presentation to 6th graders at Inglewood Elementary school. I represented three different types of teachers. The standard teacher of English, the Everything teacher in a Librarian and the teacher's teacher of a CFF Coach. The link for the presentation is on the Professional page under career day. December marked the end of a marking period and CUBA testing, so my class time was limited. I spent the month designing elements in my free time. A motivating experiment clip was added to the @Motivation page, it is worth the look.
