TEACHER CORNER
Lab Classroom PD Teacher Survey
Once again this year, each grade level has an opportunity to participate in professional development that meets the needs of your grade level. As you are aware, past grade level PD at Turrill has been in the format of a LAB.
This survey gives you an opportunity to provide input on a PD that is custom to your grade level or individual needs and interests. You may choose a topic that continues on into the fall or choose a topic that is specific to the needs of your students this year. Please complete the survey by Friday, March 16th.
