Meeting Notes from 4/2/14

Small attendance, Courtney, Karl, and Michael

1. Michael discussed what he learned from attending a webinar, "Implementing Digital Citizenship District-wide" on Monday, 3/24.  Presentation slides are in the committee document folder on Google Drive.  In the slides is a link to the webinar recording as well.  Key learnings:
1. they used the Common Sense Media curriculum for K through 12
2. developed lesson units, plans, and materials for teachers; field tested the curriculum materials before rolling it out
3. extensive PD for teachers
4. curriculum was implemented during "tutorial time" (sounds like out X-Block) so that it did not impact academic classes.  (Should we think about implementation using X-Block?)
5. engaged the community to support the additional curriculum
2. reiterated project objective to have a rough draft ready for the May Faculty meeting to briefly introduce (maybe 10 minutes) to faculty; have a mini training at the June meeting (maybe 30 minutes).
3. Discussed the current status of the curriculum map that Paula had worked on.  With only a few members present there was limited discussion.
1. It was decided that between now and next meeting members should review the draft and add content.  Where we especially need work to define what sub-topics/lesson units map to specific subject areas/grade levels.  We'll need this to provide guidance to teachers.
2. Everyone should come to next committee meeting with some ideas of lesson plans/projects and links to resources.

Next Meeting: Wednesday, April 16 at 2:30 in the library.

Does another day work better?
