Agenda

I would like to have our main topics finalized by **__Friday morning__** so I can set up the calendar. I created a section/link for "brief descriptions" and we will divide up the topics by preference (or experience with a topic). By Tuesday, end of day Sept. 22, I plan on putting everything together for our ActivUser whole group meeting scheduled for Sept. 23.

=Agenda for Sept. 23rd meeting= **Purpose:**  One section of the STaR chart emphasizes staff development. For our teachers to benefit from professional development, we want to offer them choices that will meet the needs of their classroom.
