District praises high-energy presenter, plans follow-up coaching in classrooms
Summary
Staff recapped a professional development series featuring presenter Kevin Feldman (and partner 'HD'), praised the training's engagement strategies, and said the presenters will return for follow-up support in classrooms throughout the year.
Staff reported a district professional development program for pre-K through 12 that emphasized student engagement strategies and teacher coaching; staff described the session as lively and interactive and praised the presenter’s energy.
"If I have the amount of energy that guy had, I'll tell you what, he was like a 20 22 year old," the Staff member said of presenter Kevin Feldman, and staff noted principals and vice principals have been in classrooms daily since the training. The district plans to invite Kevin and his colleague 'HD' back into classrooms across the year to provide in-class coaching; staff described costs as reasonable and said some funding may be required to continue the support.
Staff said they will present further examples and an update in November, including MAPS testing comparisons from last spring to this fall.
