In Attendance: (List here) > We need to develop a broad inquiry question to drive the residency work - a type of essential question that can cross disciplines. Here is an example we developed as a group in the 2nd district dance 4th quarter residency planning meeting: How can arts integration facilitate meaning making by developing sensory intelligence, enhancing communication skills in their various forms, and challenging students through critical thinking and literacy?
 * 1) Introductions

 * 3) What do students need help on?
 * 4) What do you (as the teachers) need?
 * 5) What content/units are being taught during the 4th quarter residency? What are teachers teaching students in the 4th quarter?
 * 6) Review Standards Aligned Systems with group to identify big ideas that the school is/would like to focus(ing) on?
 * 7) What are the big ideas that school is interested in working on? (develop a list - for example: Meaning Making, Communication, etc.
