Friday was my first Pro-D day as a teacher. Back when I was in school, Pro-D days were just a day off and I did not realize how much more than that they were for teachers. It was great to feel apart of the community, collaborate, and learn. I participated in two sessions before lunch:
1. Cooperative/Kagan Structures
2. Differentiating for At-Risk/Designed Students
They were so informative and helpful. I was appreciative that I got to experience the day as a part of the teaching team at my school. After lunch, I also got to go to the Math and Science department meetings. It was awesome to get some more insight and meet other teachers in the departments I will be working in. I was also able to find out some of the goals for each department and directions they were hoping to head in.
Pro-D days seem like a great chance for teachers to collaborate, discuss, and also build our community.
