Bellingham School District

Clock Hour Committee

May 31, 2006

Minutes

1.  Reviewed class evaluations.

2.  Update on Professional Development Catalog - The District budget has not been approved.  We will move to an online catalog whether or not we have funding for the professional development program we requested with Human Resources.

3.  Evaluation Form - The evaluation form will be changed as we indicated at the last meeting for the 06-07 school year.

4.  New Clock Hour Proposal Form - After discussion at the Central Office Administrative team meeting, it was decided that the clock hour form should be changed so that the following is a part of most courses we offer:

      * Aligned to Strategic Plan

      * Models good teaching

      * Extends over time-at least two sessions (There may be a few exceptions to this.)

      * Embedded in real work

This meeting was not held due to two last minute cancellations.  Only two members would have been in attendance.
