Alice Aichele, Cynthia Ballheim, Robb Gonda, Debi Binkley, Emilie Greenwald, Shelly Hughes

1.PROGRAMME UPDATES:
- __**Authorization**__: Still have not received official word from IBO. I will inform everyone once I receive word.

- **__Budget__:** See handout.

- __**ManageBac**__: We are continue to work on getting things ready for a Jan/Feb rollout: 1. Jeff Collett has been in touch with MB about some OpTech topics. Jeff is encouraged by some of the advancements on MB's end but, "Our situation is that they have some of the capabilities I was hoping for but we will not be able to implement them until the first of the year." 2. Teachers should have ability to invite across schools by the second week in November. 3. I am working on getting content standards and 21c skills uploaded.

- __**6th Grade Language B**__: Teachers are brainstorming ways to get exposure to all three languages to 5th graders.

- __**MYP and New Teacher Evaluations:**__ Good conversation started on Wednesday. They are interested in having a group of teachers work on SLO's at each level (not exactly sure what this will look like yet) but asked if we had a standing committee that could do this work. My response was that we do not currently have on but that we will be putting an assessment committee together and perhaps that group could take on the work of both SLO's (this year) and MYP assessment reporting (next year). Thoughts? - Look at Colorado information possibly Maryland for examples?
