The topic is Reading Like a Historian. We will be using a Tackk where each of you will be able to access the interactive Tackk post and complete your staff development on your time. There will be  interactive elements that you will answer.  Your answers will be stored to a spreadsheet. When you have finished all the activities you will receive your CEUs 2.5. I will be at Central Office if you want to come together and work with others or you can  arrange to work together at your school. Further Information will be coming out soon.

Tell you colleagues about the First Vote planned, or History Quiz Bowl, or the NVHS vs SVHS debate at the end of the year. Ask for any ideas some of your colleagues may have on something you are teaching. They can make comments in the comment section. 
Lets see if we can make it work.
