Title of Item An Impromptu Conversation


Owner/Creator Author, Murray, McDaniel, Johnson

Description of Item Content This is a written record of a conversation that just
happened to take place in between conducting
Day 1 and Day 2 of my PL sessions. The topics
brought forth in the conversation informed some
discussion in the Day 2 sessions regarding the
programming standard (Standard 5) from NAGC.
Relation to Goals/Significance The topic of this conversation helped to further
the portion of Goal 1 related to raising awareness
of NAGC standards. From a program evaluation
conducted in an earlier class in this program of
study, I learned that our district is quite deficient
when it comes to Standard 5 from NAGC. This
conversation was further confirmation of those
findings. I was able to bring this point out in the
Day 2 sessions so that hopefully having the
participants make that connection of what should
be, according to NAGC Standards, and what
actually is, might help them retain the crux of the
NAGC standards more readily. This conversation
provided a great example to help further that
goal.
Acquisition Challenge Level Challenging superiors regarding something they
1=Easy; 5=Difficult may not know, even if there is no good answer, is
always somewhat daunting.
