Teachers urge board to boost professional-development budget after Five to Thrive conference
Summary
Five teachers told the board they attended the 'Five to Thrive' professional-development conference and urged the Odessa School District board to increase the district's professional-development budget to support instructional alignment and teacher effectiveness.
Abby Lindberg, Kelsey Scrupps, Kamie Iverson, Chelsea Watson and Maria Brooks presented to the board about the 'Five to Thrive—Habits of Highly Effective Teachers; Standards Aligned and Tracking; Be More Intentional' conference and encouraged the board to increase the professional-development budget.
The teachers said the conference provided strategies to align instruction to standards and to track student progress; Principal Cori Kane joined the presentation. Board members did not take formal action at the meeting but received the request for consideration during budgeting. The presentation emphasized teacher practices rather than proposing a specific dollar amount.
