DoDEA Grant Survey
Since this was a grant program funded by DoDEA and in partnership with ODU evaluators, there is a survey they are asking school staff to complete. By taking a few minutes to do this, you are providing valuable feedback that can help fund grants similar to this in the future. Your time is greatly appreciated! https://odu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bQ5VSag7VJ8oS3P
Papa John's Teacher Delivery Night!
Also, our apologies regarding the confusion of the website for orders. It should be back up and running. Let the orders come in!
ESL Program Survey
Professional Learning Program 2018-19
As part of the PLP, the Department of Teaching and Learning has identified and planned essential professional learning based on curricular or program needs. These sessions will vary based on teaching assignment. The attachment lists the essential sessions by teaching assignment. While most sessions are intentionally planned during the summer to provide teachers time to prepare for new or updated curriculum or programs, there are some sessions that occur during the school year.
See attachment for more detailed information on specific courses and timelines.
