11/16/11 Babett Koncz The final paper looks good. All the parts flow nicely, and I really think we covered everything.

11/16/11 Brittany Mapes I took the reference off because I was not able to find the source again. I re-posted the document on 11/14/11 without the citation and reference in my paper.

Brittany - I still don't see the reference for Kirkpatrick. If you supply it, I will add it to the reference list before I submit it.

Looks like things are falling into place with the research/topics that we have so far after our meeting. I have posted the research for staff development under the 'staff development' page.

Hope you don't mind, I changed the order to the most recent on top. I think it is easier than scrolling down to the bottom each time. Let me know if you are okay with this.

Check out the link below. I think we can integrate this type of program to help us create the reform for our school. We may be able to use the entire concept, or parts of it. Let me know what you think.

We all seem to agree on the problem. Here are a couple of websites that have ideas for how to reach out and build relationships with the community. http://www.ncpie.org/ **www.ptotoday.com** **www.projectappleseed.org/chklst.html**

Lisanne Thomas 9/28/2011 The problems that are developing at Hickory Ridge High School appear to stem from the fractured staff forming camps of experience versus innovation. The more experienced teachers and principal have much to add to the climate and culture of the school within the community, while the staff placed specifically for their knowledge in reform and technology have the ability to move the school forward in achievement and success. The chasm created by the lack of collaboration between the two groups is growing and will have larger ramifications within the school. Bridging this chasm, building community within the school and with the community at large and working together towards a common vision and mission are the difficulties facing the administration for the Wingfield School District. = = =Problem 5= David Sanon 9/26/2011 After reading the text it is clear that problems exist at Hickory High School that must be addressed for the school to be successful moving forward. The main issue appears to be the clash in ideals between the new teachers and more experienced teachers in the school. The division between the two groups has eroded away the willingness for collaboration, and has started to divide the community’s perception of the teachers in the school. The experienced teachers have a sense of community, history, and experience while the new teachers have talent, knowledge, and technological skills. Both groups have critical skills needed to help make the school successful, however the lack of collaboration is hindering the school from operating at its maximum effectiveness.

=Project 5: What is the problem?= 9.24.11 Brittany Mapes

(In case your wondering where the information from the homepage on "How to Manage Your Wiki" went, I made a new page labeled "Using Your Wiki" and copied and pasted the information so have organized space to converse on the home page)

School community is missing. There is a disconnect between leadership and the staff. I agree with you Sue, all stakeholders need to share a common vision for their school. The school is divided which will eventually hinder student achievement. The experienced teachers seem to have a great deal of knowledge about the community, people, and existing programs and policies in the district. The new, younger staff seems to lack in the understand of community, yet are innovative "fast-trackers" who value and have great knowledge about technology. Both sides of this spectrum have valuable strengths, they just need to unite.

=Hello All,= 9.23.11 Sue Bisplinghoff

From what I have read, the problem for this principal is that he has not been able to get the experienced teachers who understand the community to work well with the entry level teachers who have a good deal of experience with technology. To summarize, I beleive the problem is building a school community in which all stakeholders share a common vision.
