Minutes of November 19th RRISD NBPTS Cohort meeting

9 candidates, Emily, Charlie, and Sheryl attended the meeting

1. Every canddiate shared a video clip -- I am SO proud of each of you for taking the plunge and getting this done.
2. Two candidates shared videos that are, as one of you said, "write-up-able." Remember, whether it is entry 2 or entry 3, the focus will still be on student-to-student interaction, and also interaction with the teacher.
3. The annual Texas Partnership for Accomplished Teaching or TPAT State Conference will be held Saturday, December 4th, at Walsh MS in RRISD. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. with a breakfast assortment served in the cafeteria. Attendees will have the opportunity to select up to 4 sessions and/or can register on-site for consultations with NBCTs. Be sure to bring hard copies of all work in progress if you think you would like to sit for a consultation. As of this morning, 3 of you have confirmed that you will attend, 3 have conflicts, and I am waiting to hear from the rest of you.
4. If most are not able to attend the conference, we will still have our regularly scheduled December cohort meeting and you will be expected to bring a new video to that meeting.
