Today we went through our Middle School Curriculum book and edited each subject making changes to last years text. Then we gave Maria a diagram which explains the progression of our subject and how each strand leads into the next.
Elizabethan Day, is not going to go ahead this year, but will be a focus for ENSS next year.
7 Day timetable will come in in 2011 and next year our Middle School focus will be Middle School pedagogy, curriculum and practice. So... some ideas for a focus next year might be: Monster Garages - how often will we have them and what will the themes be?, Year level focus eg: initiative, leadership etc - what will we do to expand on these themes, transdisciplinary units of work, Understanding by Design template for unit planning, Habits of Mind. We can discuss these at a future meeting.
