Retreat

Prior to the CASE conference in August, the SMET retreat was held in Breckenridge. People attending were able to earn .5 graduate credits. Participants received information on District 11's lesson design and studied portions of Michael Schmoker's book Results Now. We also had an opportunity to see a PLC in action in designing short term assessments and a lesson. Check out these links -
