Floating Work Day Information & Details for 21-22
Floating work days are professional learning days for our staff members. You have the ability to select professional learning that aligns to your teaching content, professional goals and district goals. The 6.5 hours must be outside of our current school day calendar (not during a normal 7:30-3:00 work time on our current school calendar). If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! We want your floating work days to be beneficial to your professional goals and promote our district goals!
All certificates for floating work days are due by June 10th, 2022. Please turn in your floating work days by completing the Google Classroom Assignment in the Professional Learning Google Classroom. Once you submit your certificates I will return your certificates with a message letting you know you have completed the requirements for this year.

Events with Multiple Dates
Crooked River Math Circle Events
The Crooked River Math Teachers' Circle is a group of educators who have caught the mathematics bug. We love math, or are at least curious enough to learn something new. We gather in order to experience the joy and creativity of doing mathematics, no strings attached. Mathematics does not involve problem solving, inquiry, sense-making and reasoning, but rather IS all of these things. We believe everyone is a capable mathematician when given the opportunity to truly engage mathematically. We hope that during the process of doing mathematics together we will build relationships among university faculty and area mathematics teachers for the purpose of making mathematics a wonderfully contagious epidemic in our teachers and their classrooms.
