PD Opportunity for February 19th
February 19th has been designated as a county-wide Professional Development day for certified staff at ACHS. Staff will be dismissed from ACHS at 12:00. Specific details about the entire day will be forthcoming.
The focus of our PD day will be Literacy. When the PD Planning Committee met yesterday, we discussed how "Literacy" is a broad topic and as both educators and individuals, we are able to make more narrow connections to specific kinds of literacy. Pasted below is a copy of our brainstorming list of kinds of literacy we may not typically consider.
Financial Literacy
Literacy in the content areas
Data Literacy
Cultural Literacy
Digital Literacy
Information Literacy
Media Literacy
Mathematical Literacy
Global Literacy
Civic Literacy
Social Media Literacy
We are calling upon your expertise! Each elementary school has been asked to have a minimum of four proposals. Please think about a connection you make with literacy and feel confident about sharing with others. I see you all doing wonderful things on a daily basis and am certain others could learn from you!
Get these in my January 29th! If you think you might be interested but want to pair up--let me know and maybe I can help. I think it would be great for an entire grade level to collaborate to present! Please copy and paste this link in a new tab. Also, please email me to let us know the title of your proposal and the presenters' names. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
