We missed a week of instruction in my county this past week. The teachers had Professional Development days on Monday and Tuesday, and then school was canceled the rest of the week because of snow. This is our 5th snow day in January, and I'm hearing more bad weather in the forecast for this week. We seem to be losing so much instruction time this month alone. I also feel like the students have many days off for Professional Development days which makes consistency in learning tough. What can we do to change this? I'm curious what other school districts/counties do for Professional Development. Do you have full days of PD or part of a day? How does your school conduct PD days? I came across an interesting article from The Answer Sheet about a district in Ohio using snow days as e-days. It is interesting, but I wonder if you can incorporate that in a large county versus a small district. Anyway, here is the link to the article. Enjoy!
