What fresh hell in PD have they hatched this time, and how many hundreds of thousands will this cost? This year has been a complete wash. Teachers were taught that if they stood close to their students the kiddos would behave better. Duh...Waste. Of. Time.
Nothing new has been added for PD. Buildings are supposed to be in charge of that this year. It is supposed to be teacher-driven. Most of the 1% PD money was given to building principals to use on teacher/principal-determined building needs. Other was spent on mentoring. The only thing from the district is the voluntary Cognitive Coaching cohorts. The money has to be spent or we lose it (not much can carry over). If you're a teacher and you don't like the way the money is spent, talk to your building principal or join the JPDT (professional development team). There should be elections in the spring.
According to DESE not all teachers have to endure PD. But in R8 they all get the same training no matter what. I find that a curious use of teacher time and district resources.
