FAQ
Q: Do we have to get a BINGO, or can we skip around on the chart?
Q: How many do we need to do? By when?
A: We do not want to make a big list of rules for this. Again, the point is for you to grow. That is going to look different for everyone, so there is no set number. Don't get hung up these things... just grow. continuously. You will have at least 1 PD time per month to focus on these PD activities, and the options will be available all year. The leaders will check in with you one-on-one throughout the year, so you'll have a chance to explain what you've been working on if you haven't claimed many squares.Q: How can I keep track of my PD activities and receive feedback on them?'
A: When you completed the Starting Point survey, it generated an Individual Growth Plan document just for you. This doc is shared with you, me and your building principal(s). As you complete the reflections and submit things for each activity, I will add them to this doc. Your principals and I can give you feedback, answer questions, etc through the commenting feature. Also, you'll find a copy of the board and little green leaves will appear to show how you're growing!
