Some of the meetings were scheduled by the principal, but they were not held on a consistent basis. We did have a few professional development days and superintendent days that we were able to work on curriculum as well. Also, when we assembled for our department meetings (once a month) we were able to discuss how the quarterly goals were being implemented. On various occasions, I also met with the department head (ELA 11th grade) to problem solve and discuss quarterly goals. Our ninth grade ELA teacher will be retiring this year and I have been part of the team to communicate our 9-12 goals to the new hire, a middle school ELA teacher.
What are lessons learned and what are next
