Greetings SPDG Coordinators, Directors, and Evaluators: Thanks to all who submitted a response to our SIG Day survey! Overall, the feedback was positive and we received some good suggestions that will assist the 2011 SPDG Regional Meeting Planning Committee in developing the agenda. If you'd like to be a part of this planning committee, please contact Jennifer or Audrey by August 5.
In the next week, please look for Meeting Wizard scheduling requests from Audrey. We plan to set dates for the next round of PLC meetings (scroll down to see PLC list). If there's a group you would like to join, please contact Audrey and she'll add you to the online membership list. Two of the PLCS, Secondary Literacy and Secondary Transition are interested in building their group membership. If you know of staff in your state departments, IHEs, or other grantee staff that would benefit from these topical PLCS, please forward their information to Audrey and she'll provide them with details on the content and membership registration.
