Sept. 2 Meeting Notes

Meeting Notes from Tuesday’s session are available at

http://openlight.pbwiki.com/August%20Open%20Light%20Partner%20Meeting

Professional Development Plan Feedback

Thanks to all who were able to share feedback (via phone, wiki, or email) with me over the past couple of days.  

Here are a few items which have been suggested.

• ‘Saturdays only’  for conferences (rather than Sat. and Sun.).
• Allow each district to decide how to distribute stipend/incentive money.

**To Do ASAP Please update your date preferences for Mini Conferences – Especially September 27 in Socorro!!

See http://openlight.pbwiki.com/Open-Light-Conference-Planning to tell us if you can make it.

Open Light Customized Webinars and Workshops

Remember, according to our PD menu (http://openlight.pbwiki.com/PD%20Proposal) you will want to schedule your customized webinars and workshops (up to 4 events each per district) no later than September 30th.

**To Do ASAP Submit your requests at http://creator.zoho.com/hollyrae/form/32/
