Professional Development Library
New location - New look - New options
PRINT OPTIONS
PDEC - Bronco Bowl Room
Over the past few months, librarians and teachers from across GCISD have contributed GCISD-owned books from their campuses to the newly organized GCISD Professional Development Library. These are books that have been organized according to topic, subject area, and audience.
They have been moved to the PDEC in order to make them more accessible to a wider audience. Information on check-out can be found on the shelves, and since there is not a librarian on duty in this space, the "honor system" will be in use.
Please stop by and find a great book for your summer reading or other learning purpose!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Entering PDEC to the Bronco Bowl Room
Please note: There are now security doors between the Panther Den hallway and the Bronco Bowl room that remain locked (except for badge access). If you aren't able to enter Bronco Bowl in this manner, you may enter through the Bridges front door and be allowed entry into the Bronco Bowl room.

Classlink
If you have not yet discovered the AMAZING new portal for accessing all of the digital resources for your role, please talk with your librarian or campus leader about how to begin using Classlink as your new one-stop shop for entering your digital textbooks, learning commons resources, important district resources, and more. By signing in one time with your GCISD credentials, you will have access to everything without having to remember passwords and other routes to resources.
