"Giving staff time to now go back to our classroom to set up materials and make google slides for math fluency games. We get all these ideas to implement games but no time to go back and prep those games. "
"providing resources to implement immediately (reset cards/debrief forms)"
"The Reset process is something that our school needs to implement as a school-wide system. We don't really have anything to hold students accountable for their own actions that is quick and non-punitive."
"Keep bringing Williams back for trainings."
"WAtching a video to learn SEL strategies does not seem the most effective way to work on these. It seems like we should be discussing the what is actually happening in the classroom and come up with some ways to work on strengthening the current program instead of reintroducing something or changing again. I feel like discussing inclusionary concerns with SEL would have been a better use of our time since this is what is on everyone's mind right now. Going an 1 1/2 longer than an elementary day for a training on a Tuesday is not a great idea many were checked out of the math training."
"The schedule was not ideal at all. Work on the scheduling. "

"Could we have a PD day to prep those games and set up the materials?Time is so important and we would like time in our classrooms. Thank you! "
"Can we please consider having a consistent process and use the same words or phrases when handling students who are interfering with the learning (similar to Make Your Day)?"

"Slow to no internet access impacted negatively the math training as well as the instructor's pacing with breaks and work sessions (without internet). If we are expected to work on site using internet, there should be access!"
"I felt the training for math was not organized as best as possible and it was too long."
