Miller Professional Development - final thoughts

Another teacher and I spent 2 days in Miller this week. One day we worked with high school/middle school teachers and one day we worked with elementary teachers. Both groups were great to work with yet each was different in some way. I'm not saying one was better than the other, basically because that was not the case. There was just a different attitude and approach to doing things with each group. One group was interested more in getting all the information on a particular topic and moving on while the other group wanted to spend more time in hands on work. Maybe that was just the groups of individuals invovled but I think it has more to do with elementary vs middle/high school. You can probably guess which group wanted more "play" time!

After all was said and done, the 2 days were well spent by both the leaders and the teachers during this professional development. They came, without pay, to soak up the knowledge we had to offer. From the responses we got back, I think many got what they came for and left a little more excited about the school year to come.
