Meeting Agenda:
Review of first meetings of year
- Reviewed purpose of SIT
- Group agreed that achievement at Mitchell is trending in positive ways
- Group decided not to look at the current data in more depth; rather, we decided to move forward with agenda items listed below.
- Group decided to discuss Mitchell SIP as a group and collaboratively update language
- At 11/17 meeting, there was discussion about how writing activities (and other named SIP activities) integrate with IB units. We wondered the best ways to mark those activities in units for continuity and consistency.

School Improvement Plan Updating - Continue  updating language from last meeting (Most of meeting time, I suspect)
- Begin with reports and additions/deletions/updates to: Think Stretch and PTO input, Title 1 Parent Involvement language, Digital Dialogues, and One on One Authentic writing for 4th grade
- Move on to school culture section of SIP
- Goal is to arrive at an accurate and updated plan with input of group
- We should be careful to make sure activities have chairs and are scheduled BEFORE taking on additional activities...

If time:
- Surface and discuss new ideas including those from the first meeting:  communication, community center, bullying were brought up/discussed a bit on 10/9
