PBL UPDATE
Thank you to the 25 people who signed up. I am going to be contacting another school to see if they would like to send others to us but see if they can open different dates to us. Once I find out about those dates, I will put them out to you to see if another date might work to get others trained.
We are in the process of interviewing for the PBL coordinators position and when it is finalized, I will share. Great candidates so far....tough competition.
My schedule this week:
Monday - PD out of the building
Tuesday- PD out of building/ No Leadership
