Director's Bits...
- I need those mileage forms by Monday, Feb. 15th. Please pay extra attention to both the format/labels and the 0.54 cents per mile bit.
- Please provide feedback on our professional learning by taking this lengthy survey by Monday, Feb 15th. You only have to answer the questions for the sessions in which you participated.
- Also, Celia would love to have some testimonials from you all that she can use to promote the Fellowship application process. We were going to build this in to our time on Sunday but the fire alarm bit happened and we had to trim. Here is her survey. Please participate at whatever depth you are able but please do so as soon as you can since we are launching apps in the very near future.
- Email Signature: 2015-16 Hope Street Group Kentucky State Teacher Fellow
- If you use calendar please add me to the invite list for your focus groups? If you don't use calendar, no worries.
For Your Consideration...
You all are champions! --BC
