Having the classes right before school starts helps me feel focused and ready to get back into working with kids! https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215117054 2017-12-11 17:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215117054 I feel like a lot of the classes do not apply to me or are a stretch in applying to me in my current capacity with my current kids. https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215120870 2017-12-11 17:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215120870 Offer the same classes at different periods of the day. Focus on recruiting teachers that are doing interesting things in their classrooms and have them teach us about it!

Also collaborating with other MLSD staff to increase resource base. https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215219873 2017-12-11 20:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215219873 There are not a lot of courses that apply specifically to my position within the district (counselor) https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215220092 2017-12-11 20:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215220092 My family/ husband has vacation time during this time. https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227120 2017-12-11 21:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227120 I really enjoy the classes offered to also be offered throughout the year which gives some the flexibility with family vacation times. https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227209 2017-12-11 21:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227209 It is beneficial to have on-going classes and staff development- strengthens our programs for our students- consistent training. https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227554 2017-12-11 21:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kcarrigan2/w43p05e2pub8/wish/215227554 I liked that music teachers taught classes specifically for music teachers.
