Curriculum & Instruction
2007-2008 Initiatives
Lake Michigan Catholic Schools
So, what are we going to be doing?
During the ’07-’08 school year, LMC OCI PD will focus on achieving excellence in student achievement through staff work done in PLC teams focused on data analysis, best practices, UbD, GLCEs, HSCCEs, and Diocese curriculum, utilizing a PDSA approach with a FISH! Philosophy. This will produce a K-12 math curriculum map, parent curriculum guides, a pyramid of student interventions, updated SIPs, and will result in at least 3 SBCEUs for each participant.
