VanWeekly

After spring break we will send a form for submitting links to your coaching logs. This will help us better organize the tremendous amount of content. Also, we are looking at alternative methods for demonstrating your coaching.

Stay tuned as well for more potential off-contract events. :)

Two additional EdCamp Fulton events have been added to the calendar. Both events will take place from 8:45-12:00 on their respective dates.

• CLC EdCamp Location: Heards Ferry ES
• SLC/AZ EdCamp Location: Bear Creek MS

For planning purposes, please RSVP for one or both of the events!

You have until tomorrow, April 1, to submit an application to present at GaETC! I would LOVE to see a strong showing of our Vanguard members presenting this year!

If it's not already on your calendar, STOP NOW, and add it! We want everyone who is free to attend VanCon with us!! More specifics to follow!

This week's video will walk you through completing an observation. Please be sure to view the video if you have never completed one before.

To help us prepare for VanCon, we'd love for you to play the Diffusion Simulation Game designed to help you determine steps for getting teachers to adopt an innovation.

Full instructions are found on the main page, so be sure to read them carefully. Let's see how many adopters you can get! When you finish the game, be sure to download and save your game log.

If you think you've been truly successful at getting folks to adopt your innovation, send your game log to Heather. Vanguard will have a prize for the person with the highest number of adopters!!

The first time hosts have been doing a great job this year! Thanks to Pam Kelly, NWLC Lead, for hosting our chat about Personalized Learning in the Media Center. It was great to think about different ways our FC media centers can support teachers, students and personalized learning!

If you haven't had an opportunity to fulfill your Twitter chat requirement yet, you'll want to do so soon!

Are you unable to chat on Thursday nights? Go back to the #fcsvanguard feed and answer the questions on your own time! Send HEATHER an email to let her know to go back and find them.

There are several open slots for hosting one of our Vanguard Twitter chats. Please consider signing up to host. You don't need to list a topic just yet, but we'd love to get each slot filled! Thanks in advance! Twitter Chat Hosts - #fcsvanguard
