Professional Development Follow Up: Thank you for everyone who filled out the PD feedback survey! The average ranking for Tuesday's PD was 4.51. Some of the general feedback that we received:
- People appreciated the offsite location, as well as the food!
- The work that was done on Tuesday was meaningful but heavy, and some people felt like one day was too short to get everything done.
- When the groups combined, there were a lot of people, and some groups struggled to come to a consensus.
- People would like to have time to continue this work.
We will continue working on the gradual release model on the November 8 half day! Thank you for digging in to this important and difficult work!
Also, Jason Threlfall took some amazing photos on Tuesday! Check them out here!
