|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || **Starting the year is so exciting! I was so ready to get started. We have so many new faces here and I hope I can build a great relationship with all of them. I can't wait for the first day of school!** ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || **This is a great way to contact information for parents! As every teacher puts in newly available student information, it will be easier to contact them and/or their parent. Very good to have in our profession!** ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Academy Vocabulary Development || **This list is going to be so helpful to those who need some insight on words that are being used here on our campus. I like this list because you can go back and update all of the information. You also have the choice of adding information to those words that are already there. VERY HELPFUL! Added words: Accommodations, Annual Review (Annual ARD), At Risk, Case Manager, and Disability. Please update if more information is needed on these particular words!** ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || "Tracks of a Killer" - Collaboration between Math and Science || **This was very interesting. Showing how to intergrate math and science in this way was amazing. They would need to learn how to do this in steps because of the complexity of the lessons that go with this particular activity. Using the graphing calculators for this type of work would be beneficial for all students and teachers.** ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || **We have so many new teachers on our floor, that it was very helpful in getting to know them during this time. Going over what is expected for the year is always a good refresher.** ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || **Knowing what the seniors will be going over in their PACE class was very helpful. There is so much for them to do in order for them to get ready for the real world.** ||

|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties || **Very interesting....This is my first year to be on a team and our meeting was somewhat productive. I think I am going to enjoy being on the senior team!** ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Varying Instructional Strategies || **These strategies are good to use in the classroom. Not only do they allow you to be flexible with how our students learn, but it gives several ideas about how to make every student feel successful.** ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Academy Library Professional Resources || **I knew there were rules to copyrighting, but I did not know how extensive it was. I got a good refresher over these rules and now I know what to expect if I do not implement these things.** ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Digital Storytelling || **This is something really cool to use in the classroom. It allows students to be creative and to definitely use their imagination. I have never seen this used and hopefully, I can see more of it this year.** ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time ||  ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments ||  ||
