During the 2009-2010 school year, a committee will be formed to update the curriculum to include the 21st Century skills/tools and to record the activities/projects of each grade level.

1. In June 2010, teachers will self-assess their computer literacy and evaluate their progress since the February 2009 assessment. 2. Teachers will share their projects/actvities in division meetings and full faculty meetings. 3. The PLP team members as mentors will provide feedback to their colleagues
