C.1+Compactor

I am in the beginning stages of compacting with my professional learning community (PLC) group of fourth grade teachers. Mrs. Rusk is going to be the first to try compacting with her students beginning December 4th. Together with the fourth grade PLC teachers, we have devised the criteria and alternative activities list for the students. This has been a slow process. There are many students and parents who are so obsessed with perfection that I had to raise the typical 85% to a 95%. My collaborating PLC is excited to get this going and they feel like they have some ownership because we collaboratively devised most of the activities.
