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.

MELT Networking Facilitators - Last Chance
The MRVED is looking for facilitators of networking groups. As a facilitator you are not expected to be the expert in the room, but rather move the discussion along. The goal of a networking group is to share resources and ideas with people who have the same interest. They are meant to include a give & take. Bring something to share and take something away that someone else shared. The only networking groups that will be offered are those that have a willing facilitator. If a networking group does not have a facilitator, it will not be held. If you would like to sign up, please click the link below and add your name to the list next to the group you would like to facilitate. The networking sign up will close at 3:00p.m. on Friday November 20. If you have any questions or cannot access the form, please contact Brandon (braymo@mrved.net).

Best Practice Meeting Updates
Title I
The Title I teachers came to the MRVED on November 3rd. The Title I teachers get a treat every year as Brandon and Karen both run the meeting. In the morning the group spent some time with Karen discussing Mindset. The conversations were awesome! After Mindset, the group read and discussed an article on learning styles. Lunch was amazing as usual. In the afternoon the group networked and shared a wealth of resources. Brandon then talked about how to search Google effectively and efficiently and the day was over. A very productive day for all.
Phy Ed & Health
The Phy Ed and Health teachers gathered at the MRVED in early November for their annual best practice meeting. The morning was centered around a great conversation on grading practices in the classroom. It has been really neat to see how each content area approaches this topic. The activity has expanded the thinking of many. Then the group aligned their curriculum with the standards using a Google Doc. In the afternoon, the group networked and finished the day with aligning the health standards. It was a very productive day with some great conversation.
FACS
The MRVED meeting with the FACS teachers was combined with the Southwest West Central Service Cooperatives meeting this year. The two meetings were scheduled so close together that it was in the best interest of the teachers to combine. The teachers had the opportunity to hear from their state specialist as well as an introduction to the Frameworks for FACS Education. In the afternoon we heard from Neal, who works at the U of M as a researcher in the field of food defense. Yes, food defense! Basically defending our food supply from any terrorist attacks, both foreign and domestic. It was another awesome day with a great group of ladies!
Agriculture
Brandon and the Ag teachers ventured to Hutchinson on a beautiful Friday afternoon. The morning was spent on the Ridgewater campus, touring and meeting with faculty in the manufacturing department. In the afternoon, we toured MITGI on the Hutchinson Technology Campus. After a short meeting with the President of MITGI as well as the HR and Safety Director, we had the opportunity to tour the building. MITGI is a precision carbide cutting tool manufacturer. Not only was the process amazing to watch, but the atmosphere at MITGI and the way the business is ran is awesome. Overall it was a great day of learning about what higher ed is looking for as well as employers in the industry.
