 * As Facilitator you will be responsible for:
 * Have everyone in attendance sign in (required for CEUs)
 * Briefly explain the CEU process:
 * 1) CEU’s will be issued for FULL day participation
 * 2) CEU information is available on the wiki at: http://docprofessionaldaysept-27-13.wikispaces.com/CEU+Information
 * 3) CEU’s will be printed and signed by the Principal of the school
 * 4) CEU’s can be given for Content Area or Religion
 *  Explain the Worksheets and the task:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">First: It is NOT expected that each block will be filled in.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">The facilitator will only facilitate – not do all the work.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">This is an ongoing task with due dates roughly each quarter
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Every teacher is expected to participate and is expected to send their further submissions to you electronically by the due date
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Teachers should have already read through their Standards
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">If Standards are found that are not in keeping with our Catholic Faith the information will be passed onto the Facilitator who will work with the Curriculum Council to determine if and how that Standard will be included (some Standards were eliminated during the process of creating the Worksheets but there may be others)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> Explain that their Standards worksheets include Common Core Literacy and Writing Standards for Science, Social Studies and Technology subjects for grades 6 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">th <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> – 12 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">th <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> and an Information Technology Standards link for all subjects
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Teachers will work together (or in small groups) to develop ideas related to Catholic Identity for their Standards (see [[file:docprofessionaldaysept-27-13/Example Curriculum and Catholic Identity.doc|Example Curriculum and Catholic Identity Worksheet]])
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">The Religion Teachers will be on hand to help - call extension 1241
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Teachers will be asked to submit further ideas about every quarter (the Due Dates are on the wiki Home page) – it is expected that every teacher will submit ideas on each due date (via email) – Facilitators should try to request ideas from their groups about 1 week prior to the due date.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">The facilitator will aggregate the group’s ideas and upload them in the “Filled in Worksheets” section of their wiki page.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">This work will be used to help formulate our Diocese of Charlotte Catholic School Standardsin the Curriculum Council
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Thank you to all the Faculty and Staff - we truly appreciate all the teacher’s work on this important endeavor. **
