District inservice: 1/2 day inservice

Amanda Thronson and I will be introducing the 21st Century Skills Standards to our faculty as a whole. We will then introduce the 21st Century Skills rubric that was provided on the Wiki, so that fellow staff members can analyze their personal levels of inclusion of skills in their lessons and classrooms. We will also introduce several Web 2.0 tools for teachers to incorporate into their existing lessons to make them more interactive.
