FACULTY SECTION
PLC TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Another tool for understanding patterns and cycles is a feedback loop. Feedback loops drive everything that changes through time. Most people think in linear, non-feedback terms --- they see a problem, decide on an action, expect a result, and think that’s the end of the problem. A systems thinker understands that in reality an action produces a result that in turn creates future problems and actions---with no beginning or end, only a constant dynamic interaction. (Radford)
MOST IMPROVED BREAKFAST: Please refer to the attached list of students who will attend the Most Improved breakfast TODAY at 8:30a.m. in the cafeteria. (Ocampo)
