2. Develop a working definition for MSAD #15 to recommend for Anytime/Anyplace Learning: Anytime/Anywhere Learning provides every student with a broad range of customized options (e.g. time, place, and/or media) through which the acquisition and application of expected knowledge and skills can be demonstrated.
 * Draft MSAD #15 Anytime/Anywhere Learning Definition**
 * We recognize that student achievement takes place in multiple settings.
 * Learning is not limited to the traditional structures and schedules of the school.
 * Anytime/Anywhere Learning enhances a student's school experience by fostering collaborative partnerships between schools, community and business organizations, cultural institutions, and other entities.
 * Personal, academic, and social growth is nurtured through continuous, open communication and collaboration.
 * Based on our definition....what are our next steps? What are implications for 12-13? Budget? Staffing?

Group will meet again after the visits to BDEA and PA. Each group member will look at the matrix of current options and let KC know if there is anything to add.
