(1) ACTION ITEM: Assessment Rubric - recommend Mini-tunette //(5 minutes present, warm, cool, 15 min max)//
I would like to propose that this document be discussed as //the// PD rubric. With the end user in mind, this is a good place for an individual to start a conversation with admin regarding their PD goals and interests. This rubric is designed for self-evaluation only and is not intended to rank or score and individual.

(1B) RECOMMENDED REVIEW: PSU Self-Assessment (sub-committee or CFG needed?)

Who plans to submit his/her name to Divisional Principals for 2010-11 Pro Dev Committee? (Thanks Becky for past service) Jeff, Karen, & Julie would go to Ed Programs as school-wide representatives (EARCOS & Digital Leaders)

(4) ACTION ITEM: RECOMMENDATIONS: NEEDS FOLLOW-UP after MEETING. //(5 minutes)//
What is our proposal to the Admin Team (5/13, and 6/2 Retreats) regarding: Pro Dev Committee Charter & representation? This committee maintains a schoolwide focus; divisional recommendations should be discussed with individual principals.

//ALICIA: This depends on a mutually agreeable purpose for this meeting and willingness from this team or the 2010-11 team. The Instructional Leadership Task Force (volunteers) have been asked to make recommendations to the Inst. Ldrshp. Comm for 2010-11 around Assessment, Pro Dev, and Curriculum. We do have a "Big Tent" professional development day - full faculty - on August 11th. With the understanding that:// Would this team be willing to bring positive energy to (a) evaluate and propose changes for our PD Efficacy 2010-11, (b) collaborate on the best recommendations for a schoolwide, 2-3 hour Pro Dev time, and (c) be flexible enough to roll with changes that might happen in June or during the summer months, as we regroup in August?=====
 * the agenda **most likely** will change after our retreat, due to a two day retreat with Kerry and the Admin Team,
 * Our capacity would be at a recommendation level only
