• ​NASC Resource Group within Schoology 
  • These resources can be used by other LMS (export to common cartridge), as well as schools not using LMS. The advantage of this type of sharing is that LMS content (quizzes, discussions boards, etc) can be shared as well as files.

  • No NASC sessions yet
  • Looking at doing one exploring NASC and the Schoology Group
• Common PLC Time Recommendation
  • Looking for data to support weekly PLC times
  • Used for staff development, meetings, PLCs
  • ​​Weekly focus
  • Recommendation made to superintendents to set aside one PLC time next year for NASC collaboration. 
• Common Staff Development Day
  • Look at a fall day, possibly the day before MEA
  • Recommendation made to superintendents to use the Wednesday before MEA as a collaborative work day. The morning would consist of "edcamp" like sessions, and the afternoon would be reserved as work time. 

Looking ahead
Next meeting: January 7th @ Cromwell, 12:30 pm
