Also, when the pathways were created, they were created without authentic teacher input or feedback. For example,  it was stated that the different pathways were created because this is what teachers wanted, but the data was manipulated to seem like this is what teachers wanted. ]]> 2020-10-13 00:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823158748 Smaller class sizes erichardson72 https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823158818 2020-10-13 00:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823158818 Benefits for teachers with children https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823159778 Our teachers who have families find the health benefits inadequate.]]> 2020-10-13 00:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823159778 bhernandez115 https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823159922 Calendar of topics for PDs AHEAD of time. ]]> 2020-10-13 00:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823159922 https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823161483 Opportunities for outside professional developments during PD times ]]> 2020-10-13 00:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823161483 Opportunity Board bhernandez115 https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823161660 A place where duties and needs can be presented that allow staff to "pick up" opportunities]]> 2020-10-13 00:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823161660 Clarity for part-time teachers, NDL team https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823162423 I've heard from colleagues that PD is not always clear or helpful for NDL team, and I'm wondering if it is fair for part-timers to attend all PD.]]> 2020-10-13 00:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823162423 Highly effective "pathway" https://padlet.com/hailey_pietz/input/wish/823163395 Not sure how they decided that you could only be considered highly effective if you do some sort of study in addition to your teaching.
