Faculty+Meeting,+May+25,+2010

Email message from Renee:

Thank you for your participation in yesterday's meeting. Thanks, Priscilla for welcoming us to your classroom and for the delicious treats. Thanks, Terri, for these notes.

==== An often expressed comment in the survey on communication that Dawn asked us to complete before spring break was one focused on the need for more time to talk to one another about school issues, interdisciplinary learning and the like. I chatted with a few teachers about how we might do this in the upper school next school year. One of the ways suggested was that we have optional gatherings focused on a topic of concern or a learning module. Thus, for example, in addition to our regularly scheduled once-a-month Tuesday meeting, we might offer, on another Tuesday afternoon, a training session in a digital tool or software or ameeting of those who would like to engage in an interdisciplinary project or a discussion of a student life issue. I'd appreciate your feedback on that possibility as well as on ways that we can improve our regular faculty meetings. ====
