June,
We have staff development for our entire staff once a week. It is led
by the literacy strategists and the principal. Sometimes we spend half of
our time studying a book. This year the k-2 group read RWM. We have PLC's
once a week in grade levels that is led by either the literacy strategist or
the principal. All of our meetings have a focus. We practice the focus and
come back and discuss what we have learned. It has helped all of us to
become better teachers.
