 * Minutes**

1. Debrief of Greg Curtis visit
 * Position of administrative leadership allows for easier "convincing" of value of the ISB21 curriculum
 * We don't know what level their implementation is at are teachers embedding this into planning?
 * Tool will help get TAIL curriculum into planning process, but what will ensure that planning process is done well and understood?
 * Will teachers get "UbD" training?
 * Tara -

2. Chad reported on Board presentation
 * 1:1 Initiative is going ahead
 * Questions on why not more were answered by:
 * We want to clear out bugs and issues of infrastructure
 * Allows us to really look at best practice with smaller group of teachers
 * Can't change tuition or ask parents for new cost at this stage of year
 * Curriculum Office to be more involved with implementation of this so that it's not seen as tech initiative
