Teacher Training

Our school district has spent a tremendous amount of time and energy in the last two years on teacher training.  As we discussed in an earlier post, our basic model of training is the PLC, but we do have activities beyond our PLC meetings.  Research has shown that teacher training is best when it is relevant and job embedded.  In order to continue with the trainings schedule we have, the elementary teaching staff and the high school staff will be visiting other schools on October 28.  The purpose of the visit is to observe other schools in order to consider ideas for our teachers.  Teachers that work together in training tend to have the focus more on the relevance and job embedded aspect of training, we know works so well.  This is a great opportunity for our teachers to learn by observing and collaboration with other districts teachers.
