Greetings friends!

We’re so excited to host LFNTX in Richardson ISD this Friday, May 13^th! We will meet from 9:00 am-3:00 pm and break for lunch 11:30 am-1:00 pm. If you have not already, please RSVP here to help with planning.

We will engage in learning at the LV Berkner High School STEM Academy located at 1600 E Spring Valley Rd, Richardson, TX 75081 (specifically in the STEM Center on the 2^nd floor). Please do not park in the front circle drive.  Please have your ID handy for rapid check-in at the front office. The STEM center will be located behind the main office up a flight of stairs.

We’ll spend the morning of our last meeting in our POPs (Problems of Practice) and uploading artifacts for group share. Our afternoon will consist of 2 chunks. The first chunk of time will allow for a deep dive into our new Learning Forward National Standards using a protocol. The goal is to collectively process our new standards and devise a plan to share with others within our learning organizations. The second chunk will consist of a mini Richardson ISD Showcase around our Professional Learning New Hire Shift to “Just in Time Professional Learning”.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Richardson ISD on Friday! Have a wonderful week colleagues!

We are so excited to host LFNTX in Keller on April 8th. We will be at the Keller ISD Administration building, 350 Keller Parkway, Keller, TX 76248. Please enter at the visitor’s entrance (the rock building) on the west side of the building.  From there, you will follow the arrows to the Texas Rooms where we will be meeting. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and light breakfast-y snacks will be provided.

We will spend the morning in our POP groups.

For the afternoon session, we are partnering with KickUp for an interactive session. Keller will share how our first year teacher induction program and mentoring is structured and the shortfalls and barriers we have faced this year to support our first year teachers and mentors. As a group we will dig into and discuss how we can overcome some of these challenges our current times have put on our professional learning.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Keller on Friday! Make it a great week.
