Snow Day #3 - Time to Catch My Breath

It's Monday, December 16th and we're already on our 3rd Snow Day, and we haven't even made it to Winter Break yet!  This is my 18th year in education, and I can't remember the last time we had 3 snow days before break.

As the district lead for CIITS (Continuous Instructional Improvement Technology System) I'm responsible for all of the CIITS training in the district.  For some background, CIITS (also adopted by North Carolina and New York) is our Education Commissioner's (Dr. Terry Holliday) vision for a "one-stop-shop for teachers."  I'll go into more detail on CIITS in another post.

For the past 2 months, I've been doing almost nothing but training teachers how to upload lesson plans in CIITS and create formative assessments in CIITS.  Needless to say, I've been so busy I've neglected this blog.  This snow day gives me a chance to catch my breath, get the blog caught up, and even write some posts ahead of schedule.

With Winter Break starting Monday, December 23 and running through Friday, January 3, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season.  My New Year's Resolution is to update this blog on a weekly basis.  Anyone taking odds on how long it will take me to miss a week?
