Streamlining Communication and Collaboration Through Technology

Effective collaboration and communication is a key element to any workplace. This ETP will address developing and implementing technology to streamline professional norms and collaboration during weekly Professional Development meetings in the 7th grade team of educators. Communication and collaboration will be streamlined using the cloud-based Google Apps (Calendar, Docs, and Sheets) to archive meeting notes and track student progress. The 7th grade team then will be able to better identify, prioritize, and implement common instructional practices to develop a cohesive 7th grade school culture for the students.
