With the increased focus on essential instructional practices and adult learning, I will be calling upon each of you to take part in some type of extra responsibility. You may be called upon to serve as a sit rep, grade chair or school representative to district training. This year there will be some essential district initiatives that will allow for teachers to train and teach each other in a variety of ways. New math adoption training, new K-2 assessment and Professional Learning Communities will be opportunities for teachers to train each other. I will be asking each of you to participate in some extra capacity to help us all grow as a school community.
To begin, each school is asked to send 2 participants to be trained in the new math adoption. The training will have an initial four hours with other trainings scheduled throughout the year. Teachers can earn 2.4 hours of credit. I will also grant teachers will also receive comp time to participate in any after-hour training or training that does not take place on a Rs day. I have the schedule of dates. Thanks in advance for your commitment to professional learning and student learning. If you are interested let me know this week.
