Today we all brought together our ideas, and slides for our presentation today. We had all worked on specific delegated roles that each of us would present on. Our idea is that we would all equally present our roles for the team, as well as our objectives, and primarily ideas moving forward.
We all worked using Google Documents to put together our PowerPoint. We were able to agree on color coordination, and the overall appearance of our presentation during the meeting as well too.
So far we are optimistic and expecting good things with how everything is coming along.

Meeting with Megan
Today, we met with Megan from the Peck School. She and the other administrator had many ideas that they wanted to work with. Most of their ideas were just a culmination of many brainstormed ideas.
The administration has wants to work towards tracking the progress of the students. They want a more efficient way of looking at the progress of each individual student, and they are looking for software that can chart a student's progress on a 40 point scale. Charly also talked about this previously when he met up with Megan earlier in the week, but she emphasized the need for this at today's meeting.
They also talked about how projects in previous years have been implemented a data base, and suggested that we could perhaps improve what is currently there.
But the project that seems to have the most priority is one which allows for the principal to evaluate his teachers more efficiently. The administration is looking for a streamlined way of evaluating how teachers are meeting objectives, engaging the students, checking the understanding of the students, and improving reading comprehension.
The administration is looking for a system that can evaluate how teachers are meeting the above objectives with a standard template of the principal comments, to effectively, and quickly evaluate teachers, so the principal can spend more time in each of the classrooms, and as well as meeting the goals of the full service school. The Administrators stated that they would be open towards buying an electronic device (ie, IPAD, Kindle, Nook, ect....) that can achieve the task for the administration.

Agenda for 11/15
Tomorrow we are going to meet up with the Peck School in Holyoke to start our project. We will contact her and get the ball rolling as well as learning more about the needs of the school. But for today we are looking to delegate rolls for the team, as well as deciding what we are planning on saying to Megan tomorrow.
