********UPCOMING EVENTS ********

BTIM Project Director Meeting - October 12, 2011

Project Director Meetings familiarize Directors with the expectations and requirements of their grant. As a part of each project's Statement of Work, at least one person is strongly encouraged to attend each of the Project Director Meetings held during the grant year. Topics such as data collection, reporting, invoicing, and professional development academies will be discussed.

BTIM PDA - Using Observations to Support Novice Teachers and Transform Classrooms - October 13, 2011

Through the use of an observation protocol called “Windows on the Classroom,” originally developed by the Dana Center, mentors will be able to gather and use data for meaningful conversations with mentees. The protocol brings to a conscious level the decisions successful teachers make when planning for instruction.

Join us for an engaging day with many opportunities for networking, learning with your peers, and having rich conversations about changing a traditional classroom into a transformed classroom suitable for 21st Century Learning. Session participants will become comfortable in recognizing appropriate learning objectives, types of student engagement, highly effective instructional strategies, respectful student work, and appropriate resources. Activities will center on the critical decisions of a classroom teacher needed for student achievement.

This is a repeat of the April 6, 2011 session presented by Terry Talley and Nancy Schultz.
