AMCMS Principal's Office
What's Going on in the Principal's Office?!
My Challenge to You
Tomorrow brings the last full staff development day of the school year. There are a variety of activities and learning sessions planned for you along with a couple of mandatory trainings built in. As with any professional development session what you get out of it is up to you. You will find what you look for.
I encourage you to make the most of the time that you have to learn along side of your fellow teachers. Keep an open mind and be willing to self reflect upon what you are currently doing in your professional practice.
I look forward to learning along side everyone and taking what we discuss tomorrow and put it into practice at AMCMS. I hope you are looking forward to it as well.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
Jeff

What is ThingLink?
ThingLink is an interactive media platform that empowers educators to create more engaging content by adding rich media links to photos and videos.

How to Thinglink.
I used Thinglink to make an interactive picture of Paul Revere's famous engraving of the Boston Massacre.
