 * 2010 -2011 AISI Objectives at LCHS**
 * ** Understand and align the new version of Power Teacher to AP362 **
 * **Work on integrating High Yield instructional Strategies to technology (Web 2.0) in our instructional design**
 * ** Introduce peer coaching to our professional development routine **



Summary:


 * **Student Outcomes:**
 * //implementation of Power Teacher's Parent Portal, and teachers including course outcomes in assignment descriptions in Gradebook.//
 * //dramatic increase in use and effectiveness of web 2.0 tools; incorporating technology to enhance learning//
 * //with peer coaching on the horizon, we await the division's framework before we implement this new practice officially.//


 * **Effective Practices:**
 * //Teachers of ELA, Social Studies and Humanities have made academic vocabulary a part of their instructional design; Math teachers have added LMAO to the pre-existing LLO;//
 * //Online social networks have enhanced communication between teachers, students, parents//
 * //Non-traditional Social Studies 30-2 will continue next year, and possibly expand to ELA 30-2 in the near future.//


 * **Overall Summary:**
 * **Success!**
 * //Staff choice resulted in increased engagement, a practice and result we hope to continue next year.//
 * //We're paperless, and plan to stay that way; it seems to have aied staff communication and professional learning//
 * //AP 362 is comfortably integrated in our instructional design, assessment, and reporting.//
 * **Blech!**
 * //Course outcomes/standards have not yet been embedded in Power Teacher//
 * //Peer coaching in WCPS will need a clear template and model, which we know are nearly ready for us.//
 * **Changes?**
 * We'll continue to organize our PLT's around departments and, in some cases, common PD interests. Clear direction was part of our success, and allowed our AISI team to provide more of what our teachers requested. In some cases (i.e. Math), a department's goals are created more by necessity than desire.


 * **Keeping the momentum!**
 * Losing our Division leader will make our jobs more challenging, but we expect WCPS to continue to support AISI and provide the necessary resources, including the framework/model for peer coaching.
 * Our AISI team, along with administration, will facilitate the implementation of PLT and PD plans at our school, as well as monitor progress.
 * We will seek more feedback from staff & students, via surveys for example.
