DISCUSS FINAL SI ISSUES AND QUESTIONS Savon & Yvette

Why ride in the van to SI? It builds great memories. You don’t have to add miles to your car or wait for a mileage reimbursement check. If you are tired after a long day of teaching, you can rest, read, and listen to music. Learn new things about your teammates. Robert, Yvette, Lynne, Savon, & Eliz will be there. Beth, Dianne, and Kim will be on the van. Robert if you are interested! We will hook you up!

Level 1 25 Measures participants’ immediate reactions Reveals “entertainment value” of the activity Focuses on basic human needs Improves design & delivery of future Professional Development

Level 2 Collected about 30 days following Professional Development Measures knowledge gained based on specific learning goals Improves content, format, and organization of future Professional Development 26
