Just a quick post to let folks know where we are… SLA will have a founding faculty of two biochemistry teachers, two English teachers, one history teacher, one math teacher, one foreign language teacher, one digital arts teacher, one special education teacher, one counselor and one librarian. (Oh… and me.) We’ve got six of the teachers on board so far, and we’re not that far from filling out the rest of the roster.

And it’s really starting to get exciting. The faculty is collaborating online on our moodle site. We’re writing about summer readings. We’re talking about the structure of capstone, and how we can scaffold to it. We’re talking about the texts we’re going to read as a group between now and September.

In other words, we’re planning.

I believe the letters to the students have been sent out by the school district, which means that within the next two to three weeks, we should have their responses, and we can start planning our schedule, our first parents’ meeting, etc…

And I went by the building this week… the building is cleared… they are framing the rooms, and we’re on track to have the building done by September.

Wild.
