Professional Development-April 25

Preliminary information for our April 25th Professional Development Day is as follows:

Morning
7:30-7:55 Everyone except elementary principals, reading coaches, and kindergarten teachers—Sign-in at Talladega High School. The program will be a state-required, three-hour in-service on nutrition. (Not my idea, not Joni’s idea, so just remember the old adage about not shooting the messenger.) The speaker will begin promptly at 8:00, so everyone must be signed in ahead of time.

7:30-7:55 Elementary Principals, Reading Coaches, and Kindergarten Teachers—Sign-in at R.L. Young. The program consist of training on StoryTown. We have been able to secure two consultants for the day (and we are actually working on the possibility of a third) to deliver training targeted for your particular position. The training will begin promptly at 8:00. More details as to what rooms at Young will be used later.

11:00-12:30 Lunch on your own

Afternoon
12:30-3:30 Grades 1-6, Elementary Counselors, and Elementary Special Education Teachers—Training on StoryTown. The training will be at R.L. Young.
12:30-3:30 Kindergarten Teachers —Nutrition training. The program from the morning will be videotaped, and you will be able to view it. Location to be announced.
12:30-3:30 Elementary Principals and Reading Coaches—Attend StoryTown training at R.L. Young
12:30-3:30 Elementary PE Teachers—There will be a special session for you. Location to be determined.

We will schedule a time for principals and reading coaches to view the nutrition video at a later date.

PDWeb—I will register everyone for the morning sessions. I will also register everyone except Ellis and THS for the afternoon sessions. All that you will have to do is sign the sign-in sheet and take the online survey afterwards.
