I love that the district is thinking strategically about change.
I REALLY appreciate the...
I LOVE how...
2
Will we still PLC the same?
How will ...?
1
Classroom management will certainly be impacted.

I like the way of thinking and breaking down the standards.  Identifying verbs and terms then coming up with the criteria that will result in mastery
I really like that is comes down to results not grade
Love the Idea of grades are communications not results of mastery
2
How are we to communicate these ideas to parents and guardians?
Does this change our PLC setup and procedures?
1
Time lines will need to change so that mastery can happen and all materials are covered for Certification ]]> 2016-12-06 18:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142124009 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142126407 3
I like the idea of every student choosing so path and working toward that path
I love the idea of partnership with community and corporations
I like the idea of the possible idea of holding students responsible and them working up to potential
2
What academies are going to be at Firestone?
What programs will disappear from Firestone?
1
Buy in of the entire community (Parents, Learners, Administration, Staff, Teachers, and Businesses in community, and the Community in general.)]]> 2016-12-06 19:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142126407 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142166344 3
I like the idea of getting another chance to have students gain mastery.
I'm excited about getting able to work with the students minus some of the distractions of other things going on.
I like that it stresses conceptual understanding rather than process
2
How should these days be structured?
How do I decide the most important concepts?
1
We need to not focus as much on the district timelines and make sure students are gaining conceptual understanding before moving on.]]> 2016-12-06 21:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142166344 jlevine6 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142167432 3
Students will get the targeted instruction they need.
It will be a change-of-pace when students come back from break.
It will give an opportunity for some students to shine that otherwise wouldn't.
2
How will this be communicated to students?
If we tell them it is an opportunity to increase their grade, what happens is students do not attend school those days?
1
I need to relate the topics more to the focus of the academy than aligning them with the state's initiatives.]]> 2016-12-06 21:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142167432 mdebo1 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142172601 3
Active plan to assist students.
Time during day to assist students who will not
come outside of school for enrichment / intervention.
Main ideas / concepts emphasized to help the learning as a whole.
2.
How will students be held accountable if they don't come to school those days?
Will students feel singled out and therefore not want to participate?
1. Create and be more creative in activities to reach mastery for all.

]]> 2016-12-06 22:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142172601 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142174299 3. I love the idea of finding new creative ways to help our students master the "most know" standards of their course this year.
I like the idea of the students completing a hands on activity during mastery week.
I love the idea of volunteering to help the cause!
2. What will these days look like?
What exactly will the instruction include?
1. Incorporating community resources into my inclusion classes. ]]> 2016-12-06 22:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142174299 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142174485 3
I love that we are doing something proactive to get those students who are in the middle to achieve.
I think it is great that the students who are in the lowest tier are not being forgotten and will have chances to learn as well. 
MORE LATER! I'm late for tennis]]> 2016-12-06 22:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142174485 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142175596 3 I like the idea of having the students focus on something positive beginning in the ninth grade. It allows them to have a realistic, attainable goal. 
I like the idea of having partnerships in the community - the students can have role models to look up to, to learn how to carry themselves with respect and to show respect.  
I am assuming that the students will stay with a "group" of teachers for 4 years - more buy in for both parties.
2  I am very curious how we will propose/build a schedule to fit the unique needs of our learners.
I am curious about how the business community is being introduced to this idea - and what their expectations are.
1 Relinquishing more control to the students and allowing them to be the designers of the classroom.]]> 2016-12-06 22:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142175596 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142178344 3. I am always intrigued with "out of the box" ideas to reach the kids falling through the cracks and to elevate the others. I like the proactive approach for FHS. We need to protect the programming that we have fostered for decades and use it to build on. I am anxious to learn more.
2. How do we create new successes without sacrificing existing successes? How do we ensure that outside interests such as the business community don't 
micromanage our education system solely for their benefit? 
1. Adjustment of curriculum to mesh with the approaches of differing academies. ]]> 2016-12-06 23:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142178344 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142181466 3 I am always in favor of change and improvement in how we work in  the education of our students.

2
I just want to understand how we keep the advancements in the arts that we have now and still move into the new plan.

1.
I like the idea of finding new ways to help our students suceed. I just do not understand how we are doing this the week discused. Not sure what I can do to help in the process.


]]> 2016-12-06 23:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142181466 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142182193 I like the idea of us all working together to improve  the students who need help the most and probably would not ask for what they need

I do need help with what I can do to help.

What do we do with the other students we have in our classes as we attend to the targeted students.]]> 2016-12-06 23:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142182193 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142183010 I like the ideas of improving our students education and future chances to be successful  adults int the work world.
I jus do not  see clarly how we can 
maintain the programs we have worked so hard to develop now.

I am not sure how the classes work with the internships and class times in school.]]> 2016-12-07 00:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142183010 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142183769 The idea is something we have all felt needed to be done for the students that seem to fall between the cracks. 

I do need more information to know what I can do to hep during this week.]]> 2016-12-07 00:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142183769 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142255205 1. Providing additional support for students. Reaching students at their different levels to meet their needs. Enrichment for the high level students. 
2. How can we implement this plan in a way that is not making students feel singled out or making them feel categorized as low performing students? How can we make them feel conscientious that this is a plan to help them reach their academic goals?
3. Implementing more frequent tiered lessons to reach the 3 different levels
.]]> 2016-12-07 12:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142255205 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142262017 1. I am excited about the buy- in student would have when they have more control over their schooling and career path.   I like the fact the district  and FHS are being proactive.
2. I am wondering about how this will affect state testing or requirements and also how it will be incorporated into previously existing programs.
3. I will need to be flexible as it relates to the new Academies in relation to the requirements of the programs I have to follow (AP, IB).]]> 2016-12-07 12:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142262017 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142262773 1. (Academy) Change can be a good thing. Partnering with local businesses is something I am not familiar with. I love that maybe with this change students can become more invested in their learning . (Mastery) Interventions for students still not grasping key concepts is a very proactive step for teachers as well as students. 
2. I question what role will intervention specialist have in the Academy model? 
3. From my practice with a change to the Academy model I will have to become more adaptable to the differing branches of interest. ]]> 2016-12-07 12:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142262773 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142272225 3- I love that we are taking a proactive approach and helping those students who can benefit from additional instructional time/reteaching
-I like that we are also providing enrichment for the top students and a hands-on activity for the bottom tier
-I like that we are thinking outside of the box- I think this is absolutely needed as we move forward.
2- How can we structure a mastery week (additional or different) for juniors and seniors?
- What does instruction look like on these days?
1- Teaching content/timeline to accommodate this week.]]> 2016-12-07 13:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142272225 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142272637 Tell me more! I am always concerned about students who have no focus or plan, especially since I teach Gen Ed Seniors. We need more structure for those students, and need to start in 9th grade.]]> 2016-12-07 13:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142272637 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142310336 2016-12-07 15:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142310336 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142310337 3. Glad District is thinking about integrating vocational education with rigorous academics in the form of academies. Is this logistically possible with such a large geographic district? The Nashville academies had state of the art equipment. Will APS?
2. What and where would the academies be located? How would academies impact our state requirements for the academic emergency rating?
1. Classroom activities may include interdisciplinary project based learning based on the theme of the academy. ]]> 2016-12-07 15:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142310337 kberick https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142342858 1. I like the continuity of relevance across the content areas; I like the opportunity to drive the academy's focus to provide more stretch; I like the idea of giving students a pathway to a selected goal.
2. How can we get creative with scheduling; How can we get creative with our use of staff time/talents
3. I must pave a pathway for inexperienced students to enter classrooms where students have more experience and knowledge]]> 2016-12-07 16:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142342858 jwhite48 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142369127 1.Ninth grade is the key--they need to be focused and structured.
2. The problem will be with scheduling and cross-curricular needs, and still be creative
3.Great to get ahead of the plans before they are mandated to us--need more information]]> 2016-12-07 17:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142369127 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142387665 3: This seems to be the vocational school concept that I had while in high school. I think it is excellent to offer as much as possible to high school students. Too many have the idea that college is the be all to end all without even knowing what their career goal is upon entering college. This starts the career prep early. 
2:  How will this impact my students? How can we partner with the DD system to use as our business model. 
1: I am willing to change everything. I should be in a model apartment teaching every life skill possible along with academics. My students needs hands on learning, not looking at a SmartBoard (that doesn't even work in my room anyway). ]]> 2016-12-07 18:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142387665 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142423722 2016-12-07 20:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142423722 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142518938 1. Getting support from businesses. Making the business part of the classroom. Discussing the options before a mandated implementation.
2. I am a little bit anxious and would like to see how the academy paths fit into all the successful programs that we have. At the same time, I am sure if we are creative and work together we will come up with an effective implementation.   
 I wonder how students and parents will feel when they have to chose the academy. 
3. I will need to develop and include more curriculum related to specific careers in the academies.  ]]> 2016-12-08 12:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142518938 https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142658370 1. Academies are intended to do what my marketing program already does with its students, The job/internship component is extremely useful, We have a greater say on what happens if we plan ahead (academies).
2. The scheduling and logistics of academies seems extremely complicated. I would like to see an actual working plan of what things are going to look like, especially teacher/building assignments.
1. I believe I am highly aligned with academies already-only thing that should change (and for the better) will be recruiting help-I will not have to do it all myself.]]> 2016-12-08 19:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnso6/909l085qn51/wish/142658370
