Don't forget to bring the traveling journals to the meeting. I am excited to read the thoughts of the group members and to continue to build our knowledge independently and cooperatively in the journals.
The journals distributed are as follows:
Keith Harring Journal - Special Needs Students - Ron
Gray Journal - Politics of Education - ????
Black Cover Journal - Reflective Practice - Michaelann
Buddha Journal - Leadership - Allison
Flower Journal - Relationships - ????
Blue/Map Journal - Culture/Climate - Gayle
Pink Circles Journal - Community - Jennifer
I feel... Journal - Emergent Issues - Cheryl
Dream Journal - Literacy - ????
I suggested that we all read Action Research in Education by Ernie Stringer pages 1-61 (Chapters 1-3) and do a test-based protocol the next meeting. I will bring the text rendering protocol if we have time.
New item: The proposal for continued funding was released and we need to work on that. A rough draft was sent to all members and voices will be melded on Tuesday.
Don't forget the focus of the portfolio group: Aesthetics and Literacy as Tools for Producing Accountability in Individual Practice.
