January 3rd RGSD PD Feedback
Session Title: “McGraw-Hill Science PD” [Elementary]
Session Feedback:
“Would have been helpful to not only go through the electronic resources, but also what
teachers will receive in their classrooms. Even going through how to prep a lab with
students would have been valuable!”
“Excellent program but may need additional professional development with
implementation.”
How the PD Office Responded Based on Feedback: In response to teacher feedback like
the above and discussions with the Curriculum Office, the Professional Development Office
will offer additional PD on implementation of McGraw-Hill Science and other science
programs being piloted by teachers throughout the district on the February 17 PD day.

Session Title: “Teaching Social Skills in a Multi-Tiered System of Support” [SSD]
Session Feedback:
“Would have been great to have this as a building wide PD so that Gen Ed staff was
included.”
“It would be more effective to have gen. ed. staff participate and collaborate [in this
session].”
How the PD Office Responded Based on Feedback: This session was attended by Special
School District teachers. In response to the above teacher feedback, the Professional
Development Office will communicate with Special School District to determine if this
session can be offered on a district-wide PD day and be open to general education staff
during the 2017-2018 school year.
Your Feedback is at the of RGSD PD!
