NOTE: This post was supposed to be published a couple of weeks ago, but evidently I forgot to schedule it, so it’s been sitting around, waiting for it’s moment to shine. I know it’s a little outdated, and probably irrelevant now, but let’s give it its moment, ‘kay?
It’s that time of year again. Back to school! Time to sit through hours of meetings and professional development while reminiscing about the good ole days when you used to sit by the pool, or go camping, or take a trip to the post office at 10:00 AM, on a Tuesday. Ah, those were the days. And to think, it was just a couple of weeks ago. *Sigh*
Fear not! I present to you, my tried and true tips for surviving back-to-school professional development.
If you follow these 10 tried and true tips, I guarantee, you will survive those long, boring, tedious hours of professional development.
Have a great school year! I’m sure everything will go smoothly, and no one will throw you any unexpected bumps on your road to a productive school year.

Everything you said here is true. I would also add when there are “break out” groups that everyone wants you to be in their group when they have to illustrate charts. It’s the only time the art teacher is popular.

So much technology! So much Google Classroom. And apps for Google Classroom to make grading “easier”. And so much data. That’s what our PD’s are about in HS.
