Dear Broncos ,
It is time once again for us to discuss blah blah blah … Forget it ! … This year we are having fun — Vegas Style — baby !
The Design Team has put together this year ' s professional development for Academy Week . We will meet together on the morning of the 15th and walk you through the rest of the start up for school this year . Suffice to say , we are modeling it after a Vegas-styled conference . If you are the type of person to jump straight to the end of the story to see “ who did it ,” you are in for a surprise this year . Instead of giving everyone the last Friday before school as a Teacher Work day , the Design Team instead opted to use one of the Design elements : choice . Each day has been broken down into five slots , four for the convention and one for lunch . Some of the convention slots are mandatory , some are mandatory but offered on multiple times / days , the rest are completely up to you .
Each teacher will be allocated 22 slots and they should break down as such : 4 slots Working in your classroom
3 slots Working in your PLC – Your team leader will contact you with the times for your team by the end of the day on August 8 th
7 slots Mandatory Workshops 7 slots Optional Workshops – you can pick
1 slot Online work Here is the link for all the online trainings - http :// misdcompliancetraining . wikispaces . com / space / menu
