Stop Waving our Hands and Elaborate!
Come learn from our very own Melinda Buchanan!
We recognize writing that needs more description or more depth, but once we've told them to add strong nouns and vivid verbs, what do we tell them? Developing a common vocabulary and common tools for our writers' toolboxes can help demystify the process for students and lead to more well developed writing.

Tidbits about Summer Staff Development and Comp. Time
Summer Staff Development should be tied to your T-TESS goals and development needs as a professional educator.
If you are a professional educator and hold a bus certification, attending the 8 hour update and/or the initial certification class will not count toward these hours.
If you are a coach and attend a coaching clinic, you may count one day toward this credit.
