common language key to collaborating

I've been thinking a lot about the themes in our strategic plan, especially the role of the strategic planning committee in creating momentum for the "big ideas" we have established. There are many pathways that we have put in motion to leverage improvements in student learning in the distict, but I'm wondering now about next steps.

The emails from Tom, Rosemary and Lisa about dual enrollment made me realize that its important to have a shared understanding of the common language we are using. I'm hoping this blog can be a place for us to create that shared understanding and keep our dialogue alive, as well as have a repository of the artifacts we find that support our plan.

I'm giving it a jump start by creating a list of references from the the links we created in our strategic plan. Hope you find this useful!
