Lead instructional staff in the continuous improvement of dynamic learning experiences.

(6 MINUTES)
Review the outcomes for teachers, school admin, and instructional support staff - we will revisit these frequently in PL sessions throughout the year. You can see how the learning of different groups is parallel but not the exact same - different groups need to be engaged in different levels of learning about different topics.
Take 3 minutes and talk at the table about the implications for your school work if these are the outcomes expected.
So how will we engage in the learning that moves us to these outcomes?
