ACTNow Holds Inaugural Meeting

Curriculum and instruction directors, along with principals from area districts, met July 17 at a local restaurant to reconnect and network.  This inaugural meeting marked the beginning of a series of meetings for these leaders from Trussville, Homewood, Mt. Brook, and Vestavia to share ideas and to read and discuss Learning That Lasts by Ron Berger.  ACTNow (Administrative Collaborative Team New Opportunities for Working Together) will provide a platform for principals and directors to discuss current issues and to brainstorm solutions, enhancing instructional leadership. Throughout the 17-18 school year, the group will rotate meeting locations.  Each district will host the group and facilitate the discussion of the book.  Additionally, the group may participate in school visits and discussions of current topics.  The next meeting is September 20 at Mt. Brook.
