MVYPS Professional Development Day
This half day of professional development is a teacher directed day. We ask that teachers engage in some of the PD options listed on the agenda, or collaborative work that is either school based or district wide. The intent of this time is to deepen our work together around pedagogy, content and student support. If you have any questions about the day, the expectations OR if you have feedback about PD offerings or suggestions of things we should pursue, please feel free to reach out to sdingledy@mvyps.org
ESPs have a normal contractual work day on this PD day (see below for ESP PD options).
