Professional Development at Manitou Springs Middle School
This week our staff engaged in professional development during late start Wednesday. We reflected on our core values of Relationships, Deep Learning, and Opportunity. Our current professional learning includes creating opportunities that engage all students through meaningful reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities. We love to model the value of lifelong learning for our students!
