The Shawano Community Middle School started their PD off with a potluck breakfast and group discussion!
The groups were put together randomly with all building staff, including teachers, IT Staff, maintenance, paraprofessionals, support staff, our SRO, student services, and admin. Groups collaborated and discussed scenarios for situational classroom guidelines between GE Teachers, SPED Teachers, and Paras.
After breakfast everyone moved to the library for a short listening session and some BRISK training before branching out to work and do some grounding activities.
What a great way to spend the day with your team!! It was a great day to be a HAWK! ❤️🖤 #ShawanoProud
