|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** || Also great opportunity to sit and get to know my new team members and Team Leader ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || Nice to put names and faces together on the new teachers.
 * 10:00-10:50 || Academy Library Professional Resources || Good review of the copyright laws and library resources. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Northgate Plaza || Met with the Hospital Administrator and Director of Nursing to set up an afternoon clinical rotation site with their facility. Will follow up with Northgate Plaza and provide them with a final count of students who would be participating in the rotation and set up a time mutually agreed upon for the students to come work with their staff. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Parent Involvement Parent Meeting || Really enjoyed this meeting and hearing some great ideas from other teachers about how to get our parents involved. I think it would be beneficial to everyone to have more parent involvement. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || Good opportunity to be reminded of what our expectations are, meet the new teachers and talk with our coworkers. ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || I have followed the PACE outline in the past and will do so again this year. Also liked hearing how other teachers solve the problem of following the outline and trying to talk with students about grades at the same time. ||

 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time || I do enjoy getting to do the breakout sessions and learning new techniques as well as meeting with my team and other members. I would definitely like to see the specialities be given an opportunity to meet with their own specialty team during these scheduled times as we also have much planning to do for the year and could use some time for collaboration. ||
