| 2. | 3/18/2008 4:17:00 PM | Are we changing the the Professional Development Model? Will we still have a choice in what we pursue for our own development? Will there be additional red tape involved when a teacher researches a new strategy and wants to implement it? |
| 3. | 3/19/2008 1:50:00 PM | I appreciate the fact that I have always been encouraged in this area. |
| 4. | 3/19/2008 4:54:00 PM | It would be nice to see some professional development opportunities given here in the district, ie. courses for district employees with credit or other sessions. |
| 5. | 3/19/2008 5:41:00 PM | But not continually taken away from our classes to accomplish. Doubly so when it's teachers who teach in two different subject areas. There's a lot of curriculum we are required to cover in a year and we lose more and more time to other things required of us. It's getting more and more difficult to have students prove, on tests, what they have learned when there's less class time to have them learn/practice it. Time to meet with and share ideas with grade level teachers is often taken up with IEPs and parent meetings, leaving little time to learn from each other. |
| 6. | 3/19/2008 7:20:00 PM | When people use words like "job-embedded" I get a little nervous. What the heck does that mean, anyway!?! Also, how about a goal that all staff get equitab;e opptunities to participate in professional development opportunities? I fear that support for this from the district is more equal for some that it is for others. |
