Investigation
Today I join a group of colleagues in an adventure--an investigation of sorts. I'm not sure our complete purpose totally but I know mine. To absorb and observe as much as I can, especially the group dynamics. The district is undergoing a transformation and this will be an opportunity to be in close quarters with my professional peeps. The atmosphere and climate of our collaboration may provide a glance at emotions regarding our changing educational future. Will there be talk of the stimulus? restructuring? budget cuts? professional learning? technology?--or will we each be engrossed in only our partnered conversations? I've got a list of questions regarding credit recovery for our students, and accelerated learning--that's part of my real focus. But it's my secondary purpose that generates the most queries.

i'm interested to hear your thoughts on what you observed. sounds like you had quite an adventure, hope it lived up to expectations. i find that sometimes the big questions aren't always answered for me the way i would like.
