Hosting Professional Development (PD) Sessions
Summer and spring are great times to explore hosting PD sessions in new, unique venues. If budget constraints are a concern, consider alternative spaces like schools, restaurants, recreation centers, or outdoor locations to enhance engagement and inspire fresh ideas.
Collaborative Opportunities:
Shared Campus Tours: Partner with nearby schools for joint sessions. One school can host and share expertise on specific topics, then rotate hosts each semester or school year.
Lunch and Learn: Work with local restaurants to provide a dedicated space for PD sessions. Rotate teams through different locations within close proximity for variety and accessibility.
Recreation Centers & Outdoor Spaces: Utilize community recreation centers or outdoor venues. Ensure weather and team needs are accommodated for a productive experience.
Retreat-Style Learning: Rent meeting spaces or conference rooms at local libraries or community centers. This allows for a more immersive, retreat-style approach with cross-functional collaboration.
