2. Agenda • Introductions and polling the audience(5 minutes) • history/background (10 minutes) • process (25 minutes) • questions (10 minutes) • connection to classrooms (10 minutes)

3. Identification of areas to address • Utilizing the Data Warehouse, comparison of prior years grade level performance by standard • We identified our program areas of strength and weakness based on 3 year average of data by standard

5. Scheduling • Panama sees the same students each time, and Loren reteaches the lesson to his other classes • Falconer’s students have a rotating schedule, so more of their students participate in the videoconferencing, but Barb then reteaches the lesson to her students that arrive later in the day
