Our First meeting

We are beginning the process of implementing Professional Learning Communities, which we are calling our Learning Teams, at YES. Much of what we do will be blogged so that we can share our ideas, questions, and learning in a manner consistent with 21st century learning. We will make time to meet face to face as we see the need. Remember, we are building this plane while it is in the air - and I don't have many answers for you. But, as you have shown me before, there is a great deal of learning we can do together.

I, and others, will post questions for our consideration and response. We learn when we use questions to find new questions, so read, consider, reflect, write, and participate. Please remember, this is a public blog and can be viewed by anyone. We should not use any proper names or any references that would violate anyone's privacy.

Enjoy this new and different way of learning. Jas

As teachers, we really need to be open to all modes of transportation (atyles of learning).

SASSI+ONE has completed our maiden flight with minimal casualties. We experienced only mild turbulence mid-flight as our school-community discussion turned to our recent rodent infestation, and the subsequent barbaric capture, torture, and murder of those poor lost creatures. Tears were shed, but minimal altitude was lost. We would like to respectfully leave an option on the table for Rodent Abuse Prevention Education for anyone involved with these tragic deaths.

SASSI+ONE has declared our flight as a success and approve our next flight as scheduling (or Dr Sheek) allows. Everyone seemed to leave on a positive note, with our heads still slightly up in the clouds.
