Project Progress

Our project has come along smoothly thanks to my group. After setting up an early meeting last week, guess who forgot completely? Me. Thankful my group is patient and understanding, they gladly divided up the work load and I asked to pick up any slack that I may have caused. I put together the MTAC portion of our presentation using mostly the IMPACT guidelines for help. Heather emailed our rough draft of our presentation and it looks great! Can't wait to hammer out the last few details and finish this up!

CPCC meeting

We met for the first time as a group and unfortunatly besides our class members, only two others showed up. They were interested in our logic model and asked some good quality questions to get us going in the right way. They did ask us about the rubric and sign up sheet which we were unaware of (oops!). The only downside was not being able to get the document center in the AET zone to work. Also, one of our members was "not allowed in qwaq" nor would they be given a username to log on. So that kind of burst our bubble, we had to back up and slow things down by emailing and chatting in chit chats. We shall see how it all works out!

IMPACT Model

I felt priveledged to be a part of the discussion about the IMPACT model schools. They answered any lingering questions I may have had and were very enthusiastic and positive. I thought that the most interesting thing I learned was that the staff turnover rate decreased. That is huge to me. I would assume that the number would go up for at least a year, but I stand corrected. That is definitlly a fact that I would share with my staff when implementing some of the benefits of the IMPACT model.
