Virtual PD Day Monday, October 31st
On October 31, we get to have our first "virtual learning" day for adults in Orchard View :-)
Needless to say, we will learn a lot on this day; both for ourselves virtually, and about the format we use to document the learning/ flow of the day as a school system.
We plan on using a Google Form to track engagement that day. This form must be completed by 11:59pm on 10/31 for the district to count 10/31 as a full day. The form will be sent at 12:01 am for all our early risers out there.
The google form will allow you to make a record of the learning you selected for yourself to reach the amount of time required for the position you hold in the district.
Part of your time will be "must do's." These "must do's" will include all safe schools training and time to complete the google form. A link to the final Safe Schools training session on Active shooter situations will be sent out closer to 10/31.
The remaining part of the time required for your position will be your choice and will include a curated list of "may do's." These "may do's" will be grouped under our district's focus areas for adult learning pictured below:
We know and understand that learning should look different on that day based on your position in the district (from a Kindergarten teacher to a food service worker to a custodian to a bus driver to an AP Language teacher at the High School, we are working to curate meaningful sessions for you). That being said, if you have suggestions for your role or learning you would like to see available, please let Simeon know. EX: We could use some Tier 1 Team time for HS staff.
Thanks to everyone who has reached out to ask about potential topics. Good Stuff!
Finally, we plan to have both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities available on 10/31. Buildings will be available for those who need/want to come into a building to use technology on that day with more details and a tentative list of choices available at the end of this week (we will continue to add to them).
Thanks for staying flexible as we all get to try something new!
Fall Fun at Cardinal!
Thank you!
There were lots of positive comments about having family events in the building again.
Thanks for all you do!
