Internship update

Due to my recent illness, I have not been working much on my internship. Yesterday I did some work from home though, and I think I will be doing more of that this weekend. Even though we are the Charter School's Association, the head of my dept has managed to get a contract with Scottsdale school district. We will be doing a workshop for them about using data to monitor student growth. I think it's pretty cool, since I'm sick of the animosity between districts and charters. There is no reason we can't work together, and this is a good thing for both parties. The workshop is in a week, so we have to get the data together for their schools before we go out to present it. It also helps to target the presentation more towards their needs. Yesterday I started putting data profiles together based on the charts provided by another employee. If we can get them together sooner, rather than later, we can start working on the next set of schools and actually be ahead for once. It looks like things are going well for now!
