Welcome to our 2013 collaboration blog

Hello everybody. It's Labor Day. That means everyone is relaxing, getting ready for the barbecue tonight. Right? No grading papers today, I think it's a law.

Our first collaboration of the year took place last week (8/26). Teachers were asked to review the department collaboration norms and tailor them to their individual groups. They were asked to discuss a plan for keeping a weekly log and an agenda for the upcoming week.

Check out the pages on the top of this blog. Each collaboration team has its own page (which you can update or I can update). The English 10 and 10H teams have created a Google Doc with notes from their first meeting. Each team should communicate before next week's meeting (9/9) with some sort of plan or agenda.

I hope this helps us organize our work this year. It can even be an easy way to present our collaborative work when it comes time to do the incentive review.
