How Have You Been Staying Alive?

Presented By: Pamela Sieger, Susan Clark, Mark Laser, Luke Lubich, Leah Tymeson, Kim Fitzgerald
Target Audience: All Staff

Continuing from the live Staying Alive PD class that was held in August, we will touch base with teachers to see how the year
is going so far. We will recap what was shared during the live sessions and determine if we are making sure we are taking
time for ourselves, reaching out for help when needed, and staying positive leading up to the holidays.We will ask attendees
to share how they will relax and recharge over the holiday season so we can all be ready to close out Quarter 2, assign CQA
and CDTs again in January!

Maximizing Time and Success in Office Hours

Presented By: Susan Clark
Target Audience: High School

Do you hold office hours and only one student (who has an A) comes? Then this is the session for you! You'll receive
information regrading how students are identified and grouped for tiered office hours as well as information regarding the time
committment that is required for planning, implementation, and reflection. Resources will be provided to assist teachers in
their own implementation and data will be evaulated to demonstrate the success of making a slight change in a practice many
of us already conduct.
