ELT Teacher Facilitator Happy Hour
Under the newly implemented Schedule A ELT agreement, more than 100 BTU members have taken on the critical role of facilitating the 40 minute weekly Teacher Directed Collaborative Time. We invite all facilitators and school leaders in Schedule A schools to a happy hour on Thursday, October 8 from 4:30-7:30 PM at the BTU. This should be a great opportunity to:
- have a drink and some appetizers
- network with staff in Schedule A schools
- share your successes and your challenges in the extended day
- get some new ideas
- get your questions answered
- maybe pick up a new skill or two
Contact Paul with questions.
