|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** || John Witter || You know, it has taken me a while, but I think I have it enough to be able to use it effectively this year. This is one way that I plan to try and differentiate for my students this year. ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || It was great to get back to our school family and just have a moment to rethink why we are The Academy. I definitely want to make sure, again, that I am working on those core competencies daily as I teach reading and writing skills throughout the year. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || New website and Parent Database by Darrin Wilson || Awesome! We definitely started on the ground floor with this last year as a floor, but the additon of student photos and the ease in which to maneuver through the database is going to be a wonderful tool for parent contact. Also, the new site makes it so much easier for teachers to be a part of letting people know what is going on in the school and the ability to sort of be a "moderator" for the site as well is wonderful. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Adaptive Release
 * 1:00-1:50 || Online-Blog videos(Darrin Wilson) || I have a working "document" going for my blog and the videos were extremely helpful so I could go back and listen when I missed something. I am excited about learning different ways to use this tool other than journaling. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || Interesting data for the floor. I am very proud of our success last year. ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || Great refresher on what we need to be doing. ||
