The pd topics need to feel like they are chosen for a specific purpose and will be used in an impactful way. Building pd often feels like principals are given the time and they just fill it and it feels like a waste of everyone’s time.

Students disengagement

Defiance lack of motivation

Could building pd be more differentiated to meet the needs of all teachers, not just classroom teachers.

August could give us a clear focus for the year based on the plan and then throughout the year we can build out from there.

Rather than rolling out whole new things in January without PD time to give it true justice.

Meeting the needs of all students

Behavior

Understanding where students are-utilizing pretests

Time to plan and prepare

District decisions being made without consulting the people it directly impacts and have the most hands on knowledge

Strategic plan is heavy in the district office thinking where the day to day tools to survive teaching is much more specific.

Do teachers even know the plan?

Prioritize the strategic plan pieces! There’s a lot there…too much?

# data[].attributes.body
The strategic plan would need to be more greatly explained and discussed to confidently make decisions regarding it.

Talk to the people actually in the trenches to know what pd they really do need instead of administrators making decisions for them.

Is teacher feedback included?

Feels like jumping over some stakeholders to do this right now.

How do you ask this question to students to help them identify it? Students don’t know what a PD day is.

Can the culture survey feedback be connected to PD? (Students notice peers mistreat staff, so how do we improve that?) Use the data already collected.

This feels more appropriate for high school students to allow them to learn things they are seeing used in the real world or online that they are interested in being exposed to.

This feels like an opportunity for someone without the background training trying to drive instruction and tell teachers how to do their job which is already a frustration for teachers.

Have students reflect based more on what helped them make their goals instead of reviewing a teacher.
