Items to Note
Consider having your school represented at the School Board's Convention Tech Showcase in Omaha, NE on Friday, Nov. 16 from 8:00-11:45. Students and sponsors are given a booth that you can showcase some project or curriculum use of technology. It is a great way for students to express themselves and other board members and administrators to see what is going on across the state. The conference is held at the LaVista Conference Center. Since we have schools so close, we should have great representation. This is the link to fill out information on your project you plan to display. (Click here)

Ideas to consider:

 * 1) Marzano concepts/research presented by ESU staff
 * 2) Essential Learning outcomes
 * 3) Proficiency scales
 * 4) Instructional Rounds
 * 5) Tech; IMAT; SPED possibly if connected to principals
 * 6) Possibly principal management tools (staff absences, etc.)
 * 7) Posting and sharing on a wiki
 * 8) NDE changes and updates
 * 9) Rule 15
 * 10) ELL plan (from ESU 7/State)
 * 11) What people do for NeSA testing/prep/rewards. (How do you motivate Juniors?)Handout
