CARP:

 * Complete Cross-divisional CARP Assessment Chart //**HERE**//
 * tie up loose ends regarding this year's goals
 * From Judy: Next year’s C.A.R.P. goals (and meetings) will be directed to curriculum documentation and analysis as you continue what you’ve been working on this year. More info to come before we start the 16-17 school year!
 * Tomorrow I meet with theCurriculum Coordination Team (Judy, Gina, Will, Elaine) to discuss where we currently stand:
 * What is your department currently doing in curriculum document, analysis, and alignment?
 * What next steps are you thinking about focusing on in this area?
 * For the next two or more years, we anticipate devoting CARP time and related assignments for departments to address curriculum documentation, analysis, and alignment

PD Items & Budget:
> > So…even if you have discussed with me already, please send me a list of projected PD expenses/trips.
 * Could you please forecast ahead for 2016-17 (beginning July 1st, running through next June), all professional development you and your department members would like or are counting upon? I know that a number of you have discussed summer trips for this summer—I need clarity and reminders.
 * Rishi planning on field museum Chicago exhibit for Ancient China
 * Henry put into two conferences for Strategic Plan (Strat Plan money)

> I’m putting together our departmental budget today (that will include the line items I got from Henry and Sam already). > This includes PD from this summer (July 1 – August 23) as well as all of next year through the end of June. So please let me know what you’re already doing (if it’s been arranged) and what you would like to do/plan to do. > Like many of you, I haven’t yet looked forward toward possible PD next year (conferences, etc.). So I don’t know that I’ll have any PD requests. If you’re thinking of attending a conference, etc., I advise you get us the estimated cost even if you ultimately change your mind. > If you have further questions, please see me. > Ben
 * Email I sent out on 5/7/16: On Friday, Stuart requested an overview of professional development plans for all departments. This is a new request. If you have any professional development planned for the next fiscal year (July 1st-June, 2017) please send me your requests/intentions complete with total cost. I need to get this information to Stuart by 5/17.
