HALF DAY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 24, 2016
Professional Development (PD) half days were built into the school calendar to provide additional training opportunities for teachers and staff while meeting the required 180 days of instruction in Public Law 28-45. The additional PD allows for public schools to focus on the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, formative assessment results for students, and intervention strategies to best help students that fall below grade level expectations.
GDOE Superintendent Jon Fernandez wanted to see the additional time built into the calendar. “Each year a number of schools request for half days at various times of the year to meet their needs,” said Fernandez. “By including the days in the calendar, schools no longer need to make those requests and everyone is on the same schedule.”
The remaining scheduled half days for school year 2015-2016 are:
February 24, 2016
March 30, 2016
April 27, 2016
