Thank You!

Wow. I received a tremendous response to the survey and I wanted to thank everyone who contributed their thoughts and opinions. Since you took the time to complete the survey, I thought I would share what the results were:

• 42% would definitely attend an in-house professional development session.
• 76 % would participate if CDPU's were offered.
• 97% prefer during the week.
• 48% preferred either the morning or afternoon while 28% preferred mornings & 24% preferred afternoons.
• 38% would participate once a month, 34% on scheduled PD days, and 28% twice each month

The top five Professional Development Needs:

1. Differentiating Instruction - 64%
2. Reading Strategies - 61%
3. Sharing Lessons - 46%
4. Improving Student Behavior/Motivation - 46%
5. Using wikis, blogs & tweeter in the classroom - 39%

Thank you again for your feedback. I will work with the PDC and other experts to help meet your spoken needs. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit the School Improvement Team Blogs, join a Wiki, share you ideas and seek wisdom from others.
