Next Steps

  • Add to the Resource Bank and technical assistance list.
  • Schedule one-on-one calls for December and January. We will meet as a virtual group again in early February. Hillary and I will send out a scheduling poll within the week.
    • In preparation for our one-on-one calls, brainstorm professional development and technical assistance needs based on your unique experiences and teaching environments. We will use these ideas to begin planning for our own teacher leader PD for the state, and we will aim for holding the virtual PD event in April 2020.
  • Check out the AE&L Conference site and consider submitting a proposal and/or attending. The deadline for conference proposals is Friday, November 15. The conference will be held in Harrisonburg from Wednesday, February 19 to Friday the 20th. The Thursday sessions will focus on instruction, and Friday will feature mini-institutes.

Monday, November 11, 12p OR 7p
