During the 2013-14 school year, our school will be starting a new five year rotation of the school improvement plan. While our mission was to remain the same, we needed to re-examine our vision. In order to address the vision, Nick Ontiveros and Erica Rossell kicked off the school year's professional development with a discussion of what we want our students to be like as adults. They utilized a Chalk Talk  to generate ideas from the entire staff.

The Chalk Talk was also introduced as a thinking routine and staff was provided a toolbox card. Each staff member received a Making Thinking Visible book for our book study that would take place throughout the school year.  Chapters 1 & 2 were assigned to be read by the October 4, 2013 PD.
