Professional Development Survey for FY 2012 & FY 2013

Dear Colleagues,
Your input, comments and suggestions are extremely important. We will use the evaluation results of this year’s professional development sessions as we move ahead with our initiatives of the district improvement plan. We will also use your responses as part of our planning any follow up sessions.

Your requests and suggestions for professional development training next year will be the foundation of our planning for the full array of professional development sessions. We will plan not only for early release and in-service days, but also imbedded trainings and volunteer sessions beyond the school day.

Thank you very much. Please know your opinion is important.

The survey will be open until May 15th.
