Questions have been brought up about Professional Development Hours related to the in-district PD Days. Dr. Raupers gave me the following to share with staff:
My office is in the process now of creating certificates for the members of DEAC and for the WPDA courses. I will have to check on the hour of HIB training; I don't think we need certificates for that, just a notation on the PD summary sheet. But I will get back to you on that. The certificates for the Marshall training will come when the 3 sessions are completed and we check the attendance sheets (that will be in late June for distribution in Sept. when staff returns). Dr. Raupers
The June 5th Faculty Meeting will be a full meeting to review End of Year items. Mark your calendars.
All pay-orders (checks) and cash transmittal forms (deposits) for all Student Activity Funds need to be in by Tuesday, May 28. We will be closing out our fiscal year and all checks and deposits need to be cleared out of all the accounts. If you have a field trip coming up, please turn in all your paperwork as early as possible. All checks have a two week turnaround time. Please bear that in mind.
"We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other".
I recently discovered the TED-Ed site within TED Talks that focuses on creating lessons worth sharing around YouTube videos. Below is a short video explaining their site and purpose. You can follow TED-Ed on Twitter @TED_ED

On Monday, June 24, part of the Professional Development Day will be devoted to reviewing and explaining the new Student Growth Objectives (SGOs). Dr. Raupers will be speaking to the entire district on the topic. At this point, all HS teachers (all subjects) will have to create two SGOs that I have to approve. The SGOs need to be submitted by November 15 for the 13-14 school year. All future year's SGOs will be due by October 15.

If you have not heard of TED Talks, it's something I would suggest you take a look at. Their mission: Spreading ideas."We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other".
