I think the ITs need regular meetings where they can come together, receive PD, and have work time. I'm not sure if that should come from us or from another district-level source.

Having the same coaches together helped us  collaborate better, especially from a distance. We could build on what was done in previous sessions and learned each other's strengths.

The first session, when it was VERY clear it was an expectation for teachers to attend (although apparently many thought that meant required), turnout was AWESOME. At least 75% of the teachers at my school attended. After that, interest seemed to wane, despite plenty of advance notice.

We should plan the entire scope of the series in advance to make sure the topics build on each other. There was some cohesion across the grade levels, but an even stronger focus on K-5 cohesion would help support literacy at the school sites and across the district.

Agree that teachers would prefer to attend if it were later--so they could be home. No one wants to be on campus till 5:15pm. (exiting campus alone--with locked gates and locked restrooms is hard)

Sessions were geared toward the needs of teachers so many teachers found the information valuable and useful.

teachers appreciated learning about how to structure their literacy day, resources that were available to them on BA, as well as learning about specific strategies that they could start using right away

Requiring teachers to sign up a month in advance to be approved by board is... im sorry for lack of better word.... DUMB!

I mean-has the board ever voted NO for a person receiving the PD money? I get that board needs to approve--but cant there be written in a budget for X-number of teachers to attend an after school per year... and use those dollars until they are gone... and THEN--go to board again with another lump sum? I've been an administrator--I get that we need to be held accountable for dollars--but there HAS to be a win-win solution.
