Teacher Meeting

Last Friday, we were finally able to sit down as teachers and look at the project and plan to the end.  We have decided on 2 more work periods for the kids and a presentation date of June 7 with the best projects being presented at the Grand Opening of the new space on June 14 (fingers crossed).  We went through the proposals and every group was assigned a teacher advisor to work with for the remaining 3 weeks.  As we were dividing up the groups and reading the proposals, we realized that some groups didn't even send us a proposal.  These groups were also given an advisor and the work period for them would be spent on their proposal.  On the evaluation day of June 7, students will also complete a peer and self evaluation.  I would also like to create an exit survey to see what the kids thought of the overall experience.  The meeting was good because we were able to express our frustrations and also talk about the assessment and next steps for the kids.  We also discussed what we would do differently next time which will be a separate post since I agreed with all of it.  We created a new handout for the students with the expectations for the rest of the project time including a review of the Learning Goals and Success Criteria for the project so they can ensure they are meeting the criteria.  Hopefully we are now all on the same page and ready for the push to the end!
