PLT+2011+Group+Smart+Goals

Hello all! I have updated our http://westlakeintheknow.wikispaces.com/ wiki to include the following:

-An individual tab for each PLT with two notes sections (to give you a head start for your September notes)

-A Master tab labeled West Lake PLT notes page that can be copied and pasted into your PLT page to record weekly notes

-A column added to the West Lake PLT SMART goals page for you to include your meeting days and times

-A **Wallaby Wink link**if you want to use this form when observing other classrooms as well as a coverage request chart so you can start visiting other classrooms (added to the West Lake PLT SMART goals page)

It is important that you are able to edit and find your items on the wiki. If you need help getting to items, please let me know and I will be happy to help!

If you feel that the notes page is missing a space for you to write in some information, please feel free to add a column. Please do not delete anything at this time. If we need to adjust the page by deleting, we will make this decision together.

The expectation is that these notes can be added to either at the end of each meeting or each member can add them prior to the next meeting so the discussion can easily take place. We all need to be responsible for adding material and help with accountability.

We will be presenting our August goals at the Sept. 16 Early Release Meeting. You will be asked to share your smart goals, team name, when you meet and where and what you did for your social outing. You can bring any evidence that you would like to share. Your group will have four minutes to present.

I have attached the notes page that can be added to the wiki as well.

There are a couple of teachers still not a part of a wiki. Please find a place or make a new one prior to the next Early Release!

Please add your team name,team members, team focus and smart goal to this home page!
