We are here at the TLLP....



Actions Needed to Meet the Smart Goals

1. meet with Paul to familiarize ourselves and build our capacity with the programs- schedule specific times and topics

2. ensure administrators are on-board and supportive- update administrators on where we are with the program and where we'd like to head .... how can they continue to support our goals

3. decide on some of the programs that may be best suited- so we can think about matching programs to students for next year- continue to explore the programs- group them according to what they may offer?

4. decide on teachers and potential students who would benefit-how many teachers do we and to work with? What's realistic? How many students would be manageable? Do they all need to work on the same programs?

5. Jennifer speak with new administrator to discuss project ideas- how to select teacher(s)?

6. build our capacity with Clicker 5-who can best support us? Is there any outside training available?

7. develop relationships with interested teachers

8. will we be involved with case-management? Will case-management be in place next year?

9. have a conversation with administrators about students bringing in their own technology such as ipods and laptops etc.
