I've filled it out with questions and the presenter emailed me answers so that was nice.<br /><br />I would describe my pet peeves as not walking the walk. My least favorite pd ever was a differentiation training where we all sat there and listened to the same presentation. Can you please, please differentiate the training on differentiation?<br /><br />On the plus side, I was able to springboard that training into getting my principal to more often move towards a teacher choice model of PD and create PLCs.Jason Buellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029995715142652159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-22458653801281275722009-09-21T19:22:20.985-07:002009-09-21T19:22:20.985-07:00Bingo Game - Great Idea, but it almost killed one ...Bingo Game - Great Idea, but it almost killed one of my friends, a very good teacher. The Principal was Deeply. Offended. Friend got moved from Third to 5th,(where she had the top scoring class on the CRT's and then the following year was told if she stayed, she would be teaching kindergarten. She didn't stay. (She likes her new school much better) She was not the only teacher with the Bingo cards, just the only one who confessed and apologized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-60063437433053847062009-09-21T18:00:31.834-07:002009-09-21T18:00:31.834-07:00Not sure about if you had a chance to leave an exi...Not sure about if you had a chance to leave an exit pass about "how we could make this more beneficial for YOU, the teachers..." but we were at the upper grade version. I think there will be a clear delineation between liars and the people who actually want to get something out of their Monday afternoons. <br /><br />Also - we were given the "gift of silence" as well. I returned it.Unlimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378352597023255872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-61128046291876727402009-09-21T17:59:53.427-07:002009-09-21T17:59:53.427-07:00How about "you have this many minutes" (...How about "you have this many minutes" (holding up fingers) to complete this task.

And did I ment...Forgive me but........WTF?????????<br /><br />And did I mention the time I seriously needed to go see the doctor during a teachers' meeting? The principal made me stay for a while because they were teaching something new at the beginning of the meeting. Would you believe that I had to be late for a doctor's appointment so that I could learn the macarana? Talk about being passive aggressive. I thought my head would explode. I have no idea WHY we had to learn the macarana. All I can remember is that I was asked to do something that made no sense to me and seemed counterproductive overall.<br /><br />One more thing. They gave you the "gift of silence"?
