W-E Schools District Focus November, 2013

District Focus n Tuesday, November 5th, teachers and staff members of the W-E school district received multiple opportunities for Professional Development options in many student-centered areas. I really enjoyed walking through the sessions on the Professional Development Day and seeing the enthusiasm of both the presenters and the attendees. We are lucky to have so many talented staff members who were willing to spend their own time preparing and presenting in-service trainings. Some of the PD options included:  Safety Screening Training  Strengthening Compliant, Results- Driven IEPS  Text Book Training  De-escalation Techniques  Differentiating Instruction  SLOs - Setting Growth Targets  Budgets/Fisc Web/USAS Coding  Gifted Cluster Grouping and Enrichment for Current Cluster Teachers Monday Night at Malta 3 Willowick Art Students Brighten Manry 3 Pupil Personnel Perspective Positivity 4 Chicago Field Trip 4 Spotlight on Edison 5 What is Mole Day?
