// Then schedule a meeting with your mentor to discuss the chapter. Ask each for their reactions to the concepts and have them share specific examples where they have used the concepts in their professional career as a superintendent. //

// In class, please lead a discussion of your chapters using the Four “A”s protocol established by Judith Gray: //

· //What assumptions does the author hold?// · //What do you agree with in the chapters?// · //What do you want to argue with in the chapters?// · //What parts of the chapters do you want to aspire to?//

// Be sure to weave in specific examples from you mentor and conclude your discussions with implications for our future work as superintendents. //

// Presentations/discussions should be limited to no more than 15-20 minutes. You may choose any method to deliver your discussions/presentations. Some students have used PowerPoints, simulations, video clips, or other engaging activities. //

· Bring your self-assessment (LRP) and your book to class. Select one LRP area that was low/lower for you and read the chapter devoted to this topic. · Prepare a 3-minute summary of how you have worked on the low/lower LRP area over the last year, or an explanation of your plan for addressing this area in the coming year. Your plan must be specific. · You will deliver your summary or plan in a role play situation.

 * Individual Administrator Professional Development Plan (Mike & Jan) **

· Bring the plan you wrote after our discussions last summer. We’ll review and update them. Be prepared to discuss your successes, what you have not yet addressed and why, and what your goals and action plan are for next year.

On **June 30**, Dr. Tyson Marsh will work with you around cultural proficiency and diversity issues, and Dr. Joanne Marshall will facilitate an ethics discussion and case study.

· To prepare for your work with them, please read Part V. Addressing Race and Class in // The Superintendent’s Fieldbook: A Guide for Leaders of Learning. // Be prepared to discuss the Questions for Reflective Practice on p. 187.
