Learning Cultures Work Time (11:30-3:30PM)
The PM is targeted for collaborative work time with the Principals and Cynthia.  I put two topics on the docket.  People should definitely feel free to add on!
 
Work Time Topic I - Analyzing and Addressing Student Failure (and in particular - Kids who are non-responsive or not responsive enough to multiple interventions/levels of intervention)

Work Time Topic II - Scheduling Discussion/Brainstorm/Problem Solving

Problem of Practice
How can we better develop the cycle of inquiry to build learner investment and collaborative problem solving skills?  This is my question for both kids and teachers!

Theory of Action
If we engage learners in collaborative problem solving around their own questions (vs. questions posed to or for them), then they will become more actively engaged in finding their own solutions together and have a greater investment in seeing those solutions through.
