Professional Development Log
for teachers to stick together with these kinds of tests and to support each
other when they need it.
6. March 16, 2015- Professional Development, 30 min, Bear Tavern Elementary
a. Whole school meeting about rumor control and selection process of the
new principal.
b. Discussed some new attributes for the next school year and then worked
on SGOs for the year.
c. I learned that teachers are sometimes left in the dark about big decisions
and then start to create what they think will happen. Those concerns
spread like wildfire across the school and rumors start. Its important to
talk about these rumors and smush them so that they dont get repeated
again. Also, its important not to post things on social media about other
teachers, students, or principals because someone who you dont want to
see it could and then you can get in a lot of trouble and possibly lose your
job.
7. April 15, 2015- Engaging 3-8th Grade Students in the Classroom, 90 min, Rider
University
a. Professional Development workshop that discussed different ways to
engage students in unique ways.
b. One cool technique was to give students three pipe cleaners and have them
create something that would describe them using the three pip cleaners.
Its a great icebreaker and it allows for students to use their creative side.
c. I learned that its important to make sure students are actively engaged in
your classroom. Students have a hard time retaining information if they
arent excited or intrigued about the lesson.
