Today’s Priorities

Wednesday — light calendar, excellent focused work day. Prep for tomorrow’s Josh 1:1 and Lake Forest planning. Get ready for Monday’s Stanford trip.

  1. Reply to Shelley Williamson — Condolences + schedule April chat. Overdue since Friday — do this first.
  2. Review Lake Forest draft agenda — Planning meeting with Christine + Josh is tomorrow at 3:15pm. Need to review Isabelle’s Google Doc today.
  3. Prep for Josh 1:1 (tomorrow) — Topics: Q1 logic model review, end-of-month prep, Lake Forest readiness, ISTE registration, tag analysis plan status.
  4. Tinkery Flash Lab prep — 5 days out. Review Gregory meeting notes, finalize session plan for 16 York Scholars. Decide on collaborative format for individual-project students.
  5. CRM survey questions draft — Josh is waiting for async review. Good use of focused time today.
  6. If time: Tag analysis plan, Flash Lab inventory doc, Isabelle DCI response, reschedule dentist.
