PART II – Professional Development Planning –

Our district has changed up our professional developments ideas and implemented a teacher’s oriented day where a guest speaker is coming. In the past few years, our district has overlooked what the teachers have been asking for, but this year we got to choose and create a day that would satisfy the teachers and technology. I believe this fits perfectly into this week’s Part II activity because it was created by teachers for teachers.
