Professional Development ideas for summer June 16 - 22
1. Summer Professional Development Please think very carefully about the format for PD this summer. Should it be like last year's? More subjects? Less subjects? Chandra is teaching classroom management and would like MTAC team members to provide input. Penny would like input from MTAC team members and their department members on the wall wisher activities. 2. Connectivity issues 3. IMPACT survey 4. Forgiveness day in the media center. One day set aside for students to return books- no questions asked. They would not be charged an overdue fee. All overdue books not returned on this day would still be charged an overdue fee.
