 * Working with Adult Learners - April Kelley
 * PD Ideas
 * New Administrator Meeting
 * July 22 - to have a day to connect to other new administrators in ESU 6 schools. There is a possability of have 10 - 12 new administrators within the ESU. Dade would be willing to come and speak on what to expect in your first year.
 * ways ESU 6 can support them
 * general tips
 * flipped classrooms
 * staff meetings
 * NebEd chat
 * differences between high school and elementary curriculum (etc)
 * meet with Dr. Breed
 * mentor program (set up in the summer) - need to find out when contracts start at each of our districts and who the new administrators are. If you have a good administrator you would feel would be a good mentor, please let us know.
 * Laura would encourage new elementary principals to participate in the Instructional Coaches Network. April does a great job with coaching which is as important to elementary principals as the managing piece.
 * getting to know your district (your focus, data, what you'll do with that information, etc)
 * technoloy
 * Each school assigned a school improvement contact?
 * This would help us to better understand our districts, data, initiatives, etc.
 * This does not mean we would facilitate or lead the SIP meetings, just be there as a resource.
 * Is there a way to share the SIP process between the districts?
 * Starting idea would be where are our districts are right now and know which districts use the same/similar model. Maybe this could be part of a PDAC meeting first.
 * Principals' Network - advisory?
 * After the first of the year, the testing windows begin which makes it difficult for principals to leave their buildings. Friday is a possible day for meeting. (Bret)
 * K-12 principals: duplication can be a hang up. If there isn't something new, they won't come. (Derek)
 * Ideas: Google hangout? Proceed next year and collect informaiton on what is needed, etc.
 * Self Directed PD - Example
 * This example provides a task, resources, specific links, assessment. (self-directed)
 * PD CEUs available?
 * Thoughts?
 * School safety videos are done this way already.
 * Teacher's professional goals could be combined with this type of PD. This could be used as a framework for coaching as well.
 * Knowing what the SIPs are as well would help direct the courses.
 * Teacher could demonostrate a certain item and then post to YouTube
 * Incentive to get certain courses done. (for example: $1000 after 'x' amount of years, courses, etc.)
 * Teacher/Principal Evaluation Update
 * iObservation - approx. $2000 (could format a consortium so the cost would be less, BR Cohort)
 * Can use Marzano or Danielson models (both models create conversations)
 * Laura already put the 41 Marzano strategies in a google form and then transfered it to evernote. Each teacher picked their top 5 strategies they will work on and Laura is able to have that information during her walk throughs.
