| 1. | 3/4/2008 3:01:00 AM | To me, I can 'professionally develop' well by having the chance to sit down with other teachers and communicate, share, and discuss ideas. I miss our grade level meetings and would like to have time to work more often as a grade level. When we have early releases, I'd appreciate the time to collaborate with colleagues on curriculum planning just as the middle and high school do. |
| 2. | 3/4/2008 3:01:00 PM | I'm not sure when the time would come. Release the kids at 2:00 twice per month as another option? |
| 3. | 3/6/2008 4:52:00 PM | It seems like certain people have the opportunity for professional growth which is paid by the district, while others have little opportunity unless they seek it out personally. |
| 4. | 3/6/2008 6:40:00 PM | We need time to collaborate with our other colleagues at our grade levels. That has been taken away from us. |
| 5. | 3/6/2008 8:33:00 PM | Some professional development should be decided on what each staff feels it needs. If this is to be a priority, time needs to be provided. All continuing education cannot occur on weekends and summers. |
| 6. | 3/6/2008 10:51:00 PM | As long as 'job embedded' means that that topic we are getting developed on is something that is directly applicable to MY students and is something that I can apply the next day of class... |
