[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be one thing if these training days were well used, but each time I hear from teachers that the training is terrible.  Didn’t teachers pan the last concurrent training session during the last early release as not actually teaching them how to teach in a concurrent model?[/quote]

I don't think they've had a "concurrent" training session yet - just "hybrid"? 
[/quote]The last half day was billed as training for the concurrent model, at least to parents.[/quote]

I don’t think a day is enough tbh. It’s a huge thing to teach to in person and virtual groups AND manage the tech. I’d imagine it will get easier for some and never improve for others. [/quote]It doesn't do teachers any good to get bad or irrelevant training.  Don't cancel school and then make poor use of the time, which is what APS does over and over.

APS also told parents in the fall that asynchronous Mondays were in part so APS could run trainings on Mondays (at that point for training on DL).  Now we're being told that teachers are too busy on Mondays so they only way to train teachers is to cancel even more school.[/quote]

My kid’s teacher does reading groups all afternoon on Mondays. And there is a staff meeting at some point.

[/quote]My 7 yo has never had an interaction with a teacher or staff member on a Monday.  This is likely school dependent and inconsistent.

Surely the staff meeting could be shortened to make time for a training.  [/quote]
