I like our SDT as a person, but she doesn’t do anything to help with instruction itself. Instead she just runs mandated trainings and assists with testing. She is often absent for her own or family illness. As a chronically ill person myself, I am sympathetic, but she doesn’t do anything when present. At most, she will provide Google links.

My prior SDT was really hands on. When I wanted to try a new technique, she modeled it with my kids, did it along side me, and then observed while I did it so she could give me feedback.[/quote]

Same where I’m at (HS). Love her, but I feel like the only benefit from our PD sessions is that we are helping her to justify her job. At least ask them to teach a couple of classes instead of just a few meetings per month. 
My colleagues at another HS said their SDT hasn’t held meetings all year. They’re not sure what his function is. [/quote]
