Three days are allocated to schools for professional learning before students attend.
Each day may be separated into morning and afternoon sessions.
Morning sessions will be reserved for content presentation acknowledging quality presentations include time for collaborative activities.
Afternoon sessions may be reserved for content collaboration acknowledging quality collaborative products result from norms, agendas, and action plans.
An afternoon session may be reserved for compliance training.
School leadership teams will choose (from a variety of menu options) the professional learning that best meets the needs of their school.
The school leadership team will be provided with content materials for the professional learning they select. The professional learning presentation and collaboration will be designed by the school leadership team.
Leadership teams may decide to collaborate with other schools horizontally or vertically to design professional learning.
The menu of options, supporting materials, and district office contact will be housed on the graniteway.org website.
