• Artifact 4 - Domain 4 - Component 4e - Staff development days


Staff Development Day
During my student teaching I was grateful to attend two staff development days. At these said development days teachers were given various artifacts to emphasize and pay attention to in the upcoming days of the school year here I displayed the new format of the report cards for this year and how it will be displayed for students. We also emphasized on making AYP last year and that the overall growth of the school is great. During one of the days we went over Kagan strategies because a handful of teachers had attended a training so they showed us various techniques to use in our classrooms to incorporate cooperative learning. I felt that during these times I learned a lot about what a teachers knowledge has to be not only in the content of learning but district wide programs and things that come up during the year that teachers need to work their curriculm around. I feel that this is essential for teachers because they need to regroup as a whole and really work together to get students achievement levels to where they need to be.
