Summary of 6-12 AAC-OC on 9/11

The 6-12 AAC-OC group met on Monday, 9/11.  AAC-OC is charged with looking at academic and operational activities 6-12 and considering them through an alignment lens as well as what is best for our students.  We will be doing more to promote our group and ensure we are working to meet our goal in the future, but for now we wanted to ask if there were any more 6-8 teachers interested in joining us for our meetings.  If so, please contact Mike or Brian for more details!

Below are some brief highlights from our first meeting.

• We set our meeting dates for the year
• We established our norms and reviewed the Decision Making Continuum
• We looked at our current membership and are hoping to gain some more members from the Middle School Level.
• We discussed our plan of work for the year.  Currently we know we will focus on planning vertical articulation days and considering the implementation of the Learner Profile.  We will also discuss curriculum changes as they come up and review feedback from in-service days.  We discussed several other options, as well, and will be seeking input regarding what we might examine moving forward.
• Our next meeting will focus on finalizing vertical articulation plans and establishing a mission statement and more concrete plan of work to share with the staff at large.
