Professional Development Plan

 * ===We shared at a staff meeting briefly some of our favorite highlights from the Las Vegas conference. ===
 * ===We worked with our BTC and classroom teachers when they were planning their 21st Century Projects using the UBD design for 2nd semester. We were utilized as a tool for finding assessments that could be used. We also helped to find activities and other resources that could be incorporated into the projects. ===
 * ===On our last PD day this year we will be reviewing the 21st century checklist in the D-20 21st Century skills brochures. We will review with teachers about how they are already using these tools. We will then break in to smaller groups and we will be introducing SMART notebook. Many classrooms already are using SMART boards & SMART notebook at our school, this will be a way to get all of our teachers familiar with the program and show them how they can incorporate it into their classroom. ===
