Campus Check-Ins
Campus needs/supports
This might include things like:
- Classroom management support (TBRI PD led by MTSS PD)
Or maybe it's...
- Department or PLC PD: Just-in-Time Offerings
Or perhaps you would like us to...
- Establish mentor relationships with your new teachers (to AISD or brand new)
- Work with the whole Department, a grade level team, another content area team, a vertical team, or work one-on-one with teachers on a district initiative or strategy
- support in some other way...
