MEETING UPDATES

Principals'Council
The Principals'Council gathered at the MRVED on Friday, September 9 for their first meeting of the year.  Time was spent getting caught up on Flexible Learning Year/Professional Development plans for the year.  We then spent time discussing and learning about "The Why" for school initiatives.  It was decided that the Principals'professional development for the year will be centered around "Leading School Change" by Todd Whitaker.  The day ended with the group networking.

TAC
The Teachers'Advisory Council met for the first time this school year on September 20.  Much like the Principals' Council the group was refreshed on the Flexible Learning Year/Professional Development plans for the year.  They also dove into the activity about "The Why" for school initiatives.  Lunch was excellent and there was great networking during that time.  The afternoon was spent primarily on MELT planning.  The TAC provided the MRVED with a wealth of session ideas.  Overall, it was a great day with some great people.

Title I
Title I teachers met at the MRVED on Friday, September 23.  The morning kicked off with Karen presenting on strategies when working with English Learner students, which can be applied to all students as well.  The group then participated in an activity called "Intervention Showcase", where each district got 5-10 minutes to showcase their favorite and most effective interventions.  Lunch was once again awesome!  The afternoon consisted of Brandon leading the group through activities centered around the topic of communication and having better conversations.  The day ended with a great networking session.
