Commnets
Strengths:
Responses: 7"Instructor was very kind and walked around and answered questions we had. I really liked her."
"The day was full of great content and provided many opportunities to apply what we were learning and talk about it with others. It was informative and interactive. "
"Video of example of implementation. "
"I loved the activities and the chance to dig in and use the skills being taught."
"Our principals made the SEL portion fun and engaging except for the Greg Benner portion."
"The morning SEL PD gave me the opportunity to meet with my team and think of ways we can implement new strategies in the classroom. I loved hearing from other teacher about what they use during this time."
"Good combination of powerpoint, video, talk to table partners, movement breaks. Thanks to Kayla for providing handouts for Zones of Regulation."
Suggestions:
Responses: 9"It seemed all focused on 1-3rd grade math. Yes, I have students at those levels but I mostly teach the 5th grade standards. Not making 10's."
"When presenting the new games it would have helped if she would have modeled the games before telling us to do them. On one game, both my partner and I had different interpretations of the same game and turns out we were both wrong (however the game could have been played both our ways also). A lot of time was spent on 1st grade stuff while at least 80% of us were 2nd -5th. Maybe a little more time spent on other levels too."
"More examples of how to fit math interviews into center time and how it fits with the CFA scope and sequence and reteaching. "
"SEL was online and I didn’t feel that it was anything new or different that what we are already doing in our school "
"Greg Benner videos are not helping us at all. The math part was great but when do we have time to use it?? It was not a very valuable day."
"There were technology issues at the PAC in the afternoon making it difficult to do some of the tasks that we were asked. Could there be someone there to assist with this next time? Other than that, the information was good."
"The afternoon math time was difficult to follow along with. More time to meet with my team would have been beneficial so that we could figure out how to implement this with our current curriculum. Some time to prepare the materials would have been great as well. "
"It would be helpful if there were options or differentiated choices available."
"I appreciate that Special Ed itinerants were allowed to work on something that related to their job instead of hearing more about the math curriculum, which they don't teach."
Questions:
Responses: 3"Why do you have us invest our time in the math part which is great but doesn't go with out current math curriculum which isn't at all engaging. We should have stayed with Bridges."
"For future PD days, could we get more options of what we can attend?"
"none"
Comments:
Responses: 2"It was a wasted day but at lease we were paid for it."
