During these sessions we explored how our Teacher Web Pages can be used as evidence for APPR. We explored examples of best practices and I shared my web page, specifically the section on Teacher Web Pages with them.
This was actually my 2nd year presenting at Attica's Tech Day - an amazing event dedicated to technology-specific professional development. It was an honor to be invited to present again and I truly enjoyed working with the faculty. Kudos to Attica for dedicating an entire Superintendent's Day to it each year. Your dedication to 21st Century Learning is inspiring!
Thank you Attica CSD!
