Meeting+Notes+10-24

=Agenda=
 * 1) Regroup
 * 2) Split into school groups to begin curricula layout
 * 3) Reconvene and determine wishlist, homework

=Notes=
 * Mile guide link
 * Project-based learning (PBL): STEM not being separate and distinct, but integrated
 * PBL is scary - it's not for all students, and many students are so lacking in the fundamentals that PBL could be flashy without educational impact
 * A strength of PBL is that it takes an integrative approach to subjects
 * PBL is not just doing projects
 * Budgeting for next year needs to be considered
 * Faculty training is a must
 * Teachers who go through the experience of PBL are proven to improve their teaching PBL
 * Look at what approaches are already integrative
 * Look at curriculum maps
 * Flexibility in particular disciplines should be considered
 * We will likely need to have conversations with people about why things are done they way they currently are
 * LS used to have annual themes - integrating everything with a theme; PBL is definitely different
 * US needs to look at schools from STEM approach an IB approach

Start by finding out what we're already doing.

Find intersections in curricula among subjects at same level and between levels (mapping):
 * LS
 * MS
 * US

=Homework=
 * School exemplars (wiki updated with info.):
 * LS, MS, HS
 * Mapping continued
 * Outcome: identify intersections of curricula
