 * __How will you be supported???? __**

 In addition to the Professional Development Days, the facilitator of your workshop will be available for follow-up meetings/discussions and or trouble shooting. These meetings will take place once per month, during our Wednesday curriculum staff meeting. These meetings have been scheduled on this calendar, and the location will be the facilitator's classroom. These meetings will be run like a support group, with sharing and questions/answers. The following is a suggested outline for these meetings:  Facilitators have been provided with coverage for their classes, so that they can go into classrooms and model lessons and/or co-teach. You will sign up for these co-teaching times during your workshop.
 * What has been tried? How did it work?
 * What problems have you encountered so far?
 * Suggestions from facilitator and peers on ways to solve these problems
 * Plan for trying to integrate some new technology in the next month

Of course, if you have a question or concern, please see your facilitator immediately. Facilitators have agreed to be available before school (8:00-8:15 AM) every day, to answer questions or to help trouble shoot. Check in with them, they are the experts! That's the benefit of having our staff do the training. They are all available here at Kennedy!

Teachers will receive PDPs for each workshop and follow up meeting you attend. These PDPs can be used when you need to recertify.   Facilitators are compensated with 3 credits to be used toward a lane change for each course taught. If you have a technology skill that you are willing to share with our staff, please contact Kate Merten (mertenk@franklin.k12.ma.us)
