The Professional Development Office loves to read the evaluation feedback following PD!

Please evaluate your session(s) at the end of the day. Read on to see some of the feedback

from a few of the January 3, 2017 PD sessions.

* * *

January 3rd RGSD PD Feedback

Session Title: “McGraw-Hill Science PD” [Elementary]

Session Feedback:

“Would have been helpful to not only go through the electronic resources, but also what

teachers will receive in their classrooms. Even going through how to prep a lab with

students would have been valuable!”

“Excellent program but may need additional professional development with

implementation.”

How the PD Office Responded Based on Feedback: In response to teacher feedback like

the above and discussions with the Curriculum Office, the Professional Development Office

will offer additional PD on implementation of McGraw-Hill Science and other science

programs being piloted by teachers throughout the district on the February 17 PD day.

* * *

Session Title: “Teaching Social Skills in a Multi-Tiered System of Support” [SSD]

Session Feedback:

“Would have been great to have this as a building wide PD so that Gen Ed staff was

included.”

“It would be more effective to have gen. ed. staff participate and collaborate [in this

session].”
