Please bring your laptop to our First Faculty Meeting.
It will come in super-handy. Together, we will review most of our important stuff online, set a few bookmarks, save a tree or two, and leave it at that.
Of course, please feel free to print these things out (or not), either before or after we meet... If you like. Totally up to you. But in an effort to save expensive paper, invaluable support-staff time, my time (for whatever it's worth), as well as wear-and-tear on our dearly-beloved, oh-so-delicate copier, I will link to them here, and let you use them when/as you see fit.
These documents will always be here. All year long. Might even turn out to be handier online than as another file for you to misplace... Or is that just me?

There should be a transition to the use of Common Formative Assessments to support instruction and make good educational decisions for students. The items that are currently on the Common Summative Assessments can be a great starting point for the creation of Common Formative Assessments."
