FACULTY SECTION

PLC TIDBITS OF THE DAY: It is important learning something that an entire school does. Apply that learning to achieve continuous improvement. In its broadest sense, continuous improvement is a state of mind, the belief that no matter what we do is fair game. Improvement becomes something that applies to both things our schools are currently doing poorly AND things we think we are doing well. (Radford)

All certificated personnel are invited to attend Data Director training TODAY March 4th and TOMORROW March 5th during prep periods in room 302. Data Director will eventually replace Student Explorer. The training will be conducted by Ed Tech staff. Please let me know if you have any questions. (Lawlor)
