• Documenting the “story” of the preK-12 curriculum
• Doing a professional development “deep dive” around some aspect of subject related progressive practice. This could draw on within department expertise and/or work with an outside consultant
• Continuing to document the skills we teach and how we teach them throughout the three divisions and across languages

Continuing to look at how reading informs the other major skills  : speaking, writing, and listening comprehension which relate to each of us in every language. For this we may choose another  skill as our focus and explore how we teach it and its relationship to reading.

*Building a library in each of our classes complete with different levels and topics that interest a range of student passion and interest to motivate and move forward our “reading” projects. 

We plan on using the Tuesday meetings with perhaps one full or two half PD days because that was very productive for us.
