Meeting Day

Hi all! Thanks for all of the feedback. Beth, I have been receiving surveys from our teachers throughout the last few days. I just wanted to remind everyone that our meeting is tonight. I have already set up time to communicate with all of you except Michele. Please call me with your feedback on our agenda for tonight. Check out the wiki to get the agenda attachment and here is a glimpse of what we will be working on:

SURVEY

Hello Everyone!

Michele wasn't able to put this up in time tonight so she emailed me to attach the survey for her. This tool does not allow you to insert a file so I am emailing it to everyone and let me know your feedback! Thanks everyone and talk to you all soon :) Ashley

Many of you could not meet due to prior arrangements but since we all got to discuss your feelings about the needs assessment I am going to put our collaborated meeting notes here so we are all on the same page.

What is a needs assessment? All agree that it is a survey requesting information to see if there is a needs of service.

Who is our focused group? All agree that our focused group will be Ashley's twelve ECAP teachers

What do we hope to get out of the assessment? Beth suggested a simple survey. Joanne suggests speaks of the importance in technology for the classroom as a whole. Jesse notes the importance to use advanced tools.

How will we overcome negative people? Michele suggests to give lots of evidence and notable sources to back up our needs plan.

What resources will we use? Jesse suggested the Northwest Regional Laboratory. Michele suggests the Assistive Technology and Emergent Literacy for Preschoolers.

Make a Survey: Each member thought up questions for the survey.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL AND CHAT WITH YOU SOON!
