Proposed+Agenda+for+1st+Interactive+Meeting

TEAM, ON THIS PAGE WE COLLABORATE ON A POSSIBLE AGENDA FOR OUR 1ST INTERACTIVE MEETING. AS YOU MAKE SUGGESTIONS, KEEP IN MIND OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE THAT'S LISTED ON THE HOME PAGE AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING: PURPOSE, OBJECTIVE, GRADE LEVEL, FACILITATOR'S NAME, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND THE ACTIVITIES WHICH SHOULD INCLUDE THE PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, STEPS, AND ESTIMATED TIME. AN EXAMPLE OF A BEGINNING ACTIVITY MIGHT BE TO CREATE A SHARED VISION. I'LL START WITH MINE. __ PROPOSED AGENDA FOR 1ST INTERACTIVE MEETING __ ​1. PURPOSE (clarify meeting's goal) Have each member restate why we're meeting. 10 min 2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT (used data to address critical areas in preparation to create vision) Have members access Texas Star Chart data online. Have each member summarize and post what it reveals to them. 15 min. 3. VISION (create a vision that will set a course a direction for full implementation of TA TEKS at our grade level) Having each member suggest a vision. We will then choose the one that best states our ambition. Then members will revise and edit it for wording and best clarity. 15 min 4. CAMPUS RESOURCES (review what resources are available on our campus for planning) Have members list resources that they are aware of and how used in previous lessons. 20 min 5. RESOURCES MAXIMIZED (collaborate about ways we can use what's available on our campus to enhance on line learning) Review TA TEKS by having members access the TA TEKS. Have teachers suggest how campus resources can be used to maximize use to strengthen our areas of weaknesses. 20 min 6. TIMELINE FOR INTEGRATION/IMPLEMENTATION (establish a start time for implementation) Have members brainstorm a start time for planning for first online learning lesson integration. 10 min 7. CLOSING (end discussion and give directions for next interactive meeting) Close meeting and make members aware that they will need to make suggestions for our next meeting on new page entitled "Proposed Timeline for 2nd Interactive Meeting"

I have a couple of questions before I change or confirm this agenda.. 1 - The "Needs Assessment" portion of the agenda refers to the "Texas Star Chart data"... is this refering to the "Texas Teacher Star Chart" or the "Texas Campus Star Chart"? Or is it something something altogether different?

2 - If this is a "live" interactive meeting, is it really going ot take 10 minutes, for example to clarify the meeting's goals? Most of us have at least some typing skill. I can't see us taking that long on each of these topics. If there is a required amount of time for the meeting that's one thing, but I'd rather focus on getting things done than have a timeline.

3 - What are "TA TEKS"?

I'll delete this part of the post when the answers have come, thanks! :)

Mike

I have similar questions that Mike has addressed especially points 1 & 3. Monika

I agree with the agenda. Mike I can tell you what the technology TEKS are as well. Meshanda

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR INPUT THUS FAR. I'LL ATTEMPT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AS BEST I CAN. 1. THE TEXAS STAR CHART WOULD BE THE ONE FOR THE CAMPUS.

2. THE ANSWER FOR THIS IS COMING OUT OF MY LACK OF EXPERIENCE WITTH USING THIS SORT OF THING. IT REALLY WASN'T CLEAR TO ME AS TO JUST HOW THAT INTERACTIVE MEETING WOULD HAPPEN. WHEN I SUGGESTED 10 MINUTES, I GUESS I WAS THINKING EACH PERSON ENTERING HIS INPUT AND WE DIALOGUING BACK AND FORTH ABOUT IT.

3. TA TEKS IS TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION TEKS SET FORTH BY TEA. THAT ARE INCORPORATED IN OUR NEW CURRICULUM WE LEARNED ABOUT AT THE START OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR WHEN THEY HAD US GO TO THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN AUGUST RIGHT BEFORE THE 1ST DAY OF CLASS.

I HOPE THIS HELPS.

CHANDRA I agree with the proposed agenda. Monika

I agree with this agenda as well. Thanks for the answers Chandra! BTW, ease up on the "ALL CAPS". That's electronic yelling. :)
