Teachers Become Students For A Day
Westview has included three professional development days to its 201213 school calendar, September 20,
February 10 and May 12. It is on these
days the students get to stay home and
the teachers become the students.
September 20 included kindergarten through sixth grade teachers
listening to presenters about the recent
adoption of a new textbook series. The
teachers had the opportunity to see all
the components, hear how the pieces
fit together, and work with teachers
throughout the corporation who teach
the same grade level. They were also
able to share ideas and build communication with each other.
Junior High and High School
teachers had two technology related
presenters who helped them to use
more Google applications and implement various types of assessments.
Music, art and physical education
teachers came together to work with
the Common Core State Standards, and
align lessons kindergarten through
high school which would focus on
common vocabulary/definitions, and
looking for gaps that might exist in the
covering of material in their area.
