I heard great things about the content presented during the electives. Participants really found it valuable.

While teachers loved the techy type sessions, there were comments about not enough sessions of AI. Maybe a survey to see what the teams would like to as an elective option.

On the flip side, while I thought it was a great opportunity to have elective options, others not so much. It was clear from the traffic in the hallways that some may not have chosen to attend anything during that time period. Is that something worth addressing?

I too liked that teachers had choice. Heard lots of positive feedback about the AI session.

They loved Magic School - and the right to attend the sessions they needed.

Teamwork and possibility of networking with the many teams districtwide

Feedback I have received have been positive especially the AP Gorups - they claim "they needed such a session"

Kudos to All!

Glows- I like the fact that the teachers had a chance to be placed in their PLST Role Alike session and were able to get strategies, resources and updates about their own particular role. I love the fact that we were able to bring in an outside guest speaker to present to them. I believe this provided them with a different voice, different resources, and interactive collaboration and I like how our MINT/NTS department was able to collaborate with Pete Hall's Team to ensure our goals and information being presented was aligned to how we are supporting them as well. I like the break time that was embedded in the schedule. This allowed for travel/walk time. Thank you for delicious food each day for the staff. It allowed us to not have to leave the premise to get lunch. The Elective sessions were a great added twist. It gave the participants AND the presenters choice to go see other presentations and gain insight and ideas for our self growth. Shout out to Ana Lara for being able to capture our color-coded outfits each day and posting us on Social Media as an overall PLCD group. The participants loved the coordinating of us all wearing the matching colors! Easy to identify our PLCD staff to ask questions/concerns. Overall, it was a great conference!

Grows- A suggestion would be to have more signs or A Frames posted around the location so participants can be better guided as to where they should be going. Maybe a LARGE SCHEDULE could be placed on the A Frames and restroom signs posted on the walls/hallway. Also, try to put the different breakout rooms in nearer locations together to allow participants to arrive on time to their next section. Lots of late comers in the 8:30 AM session daily, stating they were lost or went to an old scheduled room. If the scheduled is revised the night before, maybe have a LARGE easel near the parking lots so they will know to reference the REVISED schedule for the day.

I enjoyed working alongside ELA department, showcasing how the Bilingual (ESOL) and ELA department share common goals in developing students' language and literacy.

I think the assistant principals really enjoyed the presentation and the time together as a group - however, perhaps they would benefit from additional time to network and collaborate. I believe the "elective" component elevated the PLST experience for the participants.

I would have liked seeing clearly marked designated parking for M-DCPS.

I appreciated the opportunity to share with colleagues and schools.

Loved the "Elective" component for the 2025 PLST Spring Conference where educators had choice.

Sign-out with the QR code had some hiccups. Maybe going back to the traditional sign-out format allows us to capture everyone.

There was great feedback regarding the elective sessions, especially the technology related ones.

Parking signs would have helped with navigation, and we missed our afternoon CPL cafecito! ☕ Also, Mary and Ana should travel with us next time. :))

Thank you to everyone for your hard work and commitment to providing high-quality professional learning! 🎉

I appreciated how the Spring PLST fostered collaboration and meaningful professional learning. The sessions were interactive, well-structured, and provided practical strategies that PLST members can apply directly in their schools. It was great to see so much enthusiasm from educators in my session with MagicSchool AI. I left feeling inspired by the shared best practices and innovative ideas. PS. Thank you for providing lunch for us every day! Thank you everyone for your hard work and commitment to providing high-quality professional learning.
