"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Repeat from Dr. Thompson's email regarding the Dodgeland Summit:

Mark your calendars for Monday, August 20, 2018! The purpose of the Summit is to provide self-directed professional learning experiences and to allow time for your new learning to impact your instruction in the new school year.

A second reason for the Dodgeland Summit is to offer early access to Extra Professional Development (XPD) opportunities. With XPDs a primary professional growth activity required for advancement on our Alternative Compensation system, it makes sense to launch this professional learning prior to the onset of the school year. Similar to how XPDs work during the school year, attendance at four one-hour sessions will garner one “checkmark” for the Alternative Compensation system. Leading a one-hour session will also yield one “checkmark”.

I ask that you complete the short survey below so that plans may begin for this great learning opportunity. Please complete the survey by Friday, May 4. You are highly encouraged to nominate a peer to lead a Summit session. The final Dodgeland Summit schedule will be released in early August. Please check your district email throughout the summer for updates.
