The Estimated Professional Development Budget was approved. The word “series” will be added to the DVD description.
This year we will be doing 30 hours of Kagan and McREL strategies, and on our 4 professional days we will have in-service on Differentiated Instruction. Jennifer Yahraus will teach Project Base Learning Using Technology during the 30-hours, and one teacher will be completing a book study on Ruby Payne. “Tech Tuesday” will be added to the SIP on p.22 under other.
