Professional Growth Activities

Staff Meetings:

We usually conduct a staff meeting every other Tuesdays of the week. During these meetings, teachers and staff gather in designated area and discuss important events or information that they should be aware of. During these meetings, teachers and staff take turns being the Convener, Process Observer, and the Recorder. This is the time for everyone to share concerns or ask questions or advice regarding difficulties that might be facing in classroom or school environment. After every meetings, teachers break into grade level teams called TLC (Teachers Learning Community) to further discuss issues or concerns within their grade level.
