[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idea… direct the parents in your community to have their kids come home so that our teaching staff can actually engage in their PD hours and get them done this year.

We should have added a PD day or two to the calendar like surrounding jurisdictions. This is absolutely ridiculous that we are asking our schools to coordinate this on top of all the other demands and during a staff shortage. [/quote]

Teachers have too much Professional Development.

Idea: Give them PD hours before the school year starts. [/quote]

There are two SP and a SD day scheduled before school starts.[/quote]

Here’s what ES has available at my school unencumbered - .5 day Monday, .5 day Tuesday, .5 day Weds, .25 day Thursday, .25 day Friday. My principal keeps meetings to a minimum and this is all the time we get to turn over desks, move furniture, unpack, decorate, organize, prepare student items, plan and prep for the 1st week. I will be in all the rest of this week on my own time and I’ll do my required training on the computer this weekend (that always takes at least 5-8 hours, no matter what they say otherwise). There is simply no time available to squeeze in an additional 21 hours of SOR training next week. Some people have even less time because they didn’t do the 3 day basal training over the summer.[/quote]
