OverviewSuggestions Identify how your goal matches the

State Standards and/or the Standards for the Teaching Profession. Focus on one or two key standard within

the targeted grade levels. See California Dept. of Education web

site www.cde.ca.gov)

When stating your objectives: Include a summary of the activities and

the expectations you have for the participants so it is clear What your course is designed to do. How it will accomplish those goals.

Make sure it all connects back to the standard you have chosen.

Guidelines for Speakers and Controversial Issues

Salary Point Packet

P-form or NA-form(new version) Roster (please type) Instructions Keep a copy of the Sign-ins and the roster! Don’t copy P forms

Data Merge I prefer that the participants do not fill

out the P form. Data merge from the roster.

It is no longer necessary to follow the decades long ritual of filling out P forms filled with questions nobody is knows how to answer.

This is easier, faster, and there will be fewer errors.
