Received one email from Donna giving breakdown for each of her crew members.
Al and Jeff reported distribution of memo in mailboxes.
Plan to do face to face tomorrow (Tuesday) and follow up with PD on Wednesday.

Received an email from Phil providing a snapshot on each kid in his crew.

Received a follow up email from Phil. I'm concerned that credit is being overly linked to "seat time" and/or "work product." If credit is tied to this then our system of 'banking seat time' backfires. We had an approach that kids already put in their seat time and now they may ("may"...I'm not certain) be being required to do all the seat time over again through this backdoor of work-product requirements.
I'm not sure and I don't have enough data from folks.
Another noticing: most of the comments regarding the status of the 11th graders have to do with characteristics of the students and behaviors: they are lazy, unmotivated, late and don't care, etc. Very few comments are about self (teacher) improvement: i.e, "I need to get better at facilitating the writing process and here's what I plan on doing next." Actually none were like that.

can we see the feedback from Phil and Donna? It might be helpful for us to figure out what the next steps are.

Rhonda reported that this topic was on Explorations agenda.
