<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Basic math about Sept 15th&#8230;<br />
</strong>We are estimating up to 650 that might attend.  If we want approximately 20 people per session/group, we&#8217;ll need at least 32 trainers.   We are going to hire 10 Google Certified Trainers for the day &#8211; and we&#8217;ll be asking them to handle the most advanced sessions related to Google and formative assessment tools.</p>
<p><strong>Where will we get the remaining 22 trainers?<br />
</strong><span style="line-height:1.714285714;font-size:1rem;">That&#8217;s where </span><span style="line-height:1.714285714;font-size:1rem;">our new teacher leader positions come in.  </span><span style="line-height:1.714285714;font-size:1rem;">They will be asked to run additional sessions on various topics for staff.  </span><span style="line-height:1.714285714;font-size:1rem;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>Can we provide input for the Sept 15th PD day?</strong><br />
Yes, certainly&#8230;   contact Brian Abeling with any comments, ideas, or suggestions related to the Sept 15th PD day.  At this time, we&#8217;re just starting the planning &#8211; but we hope to have tentative agendas available in June/July.</p>
