Professional Development Days

PD days we teachers call them...days without students. While working with kids is the reason we do this job, it's safe to say that teachers do enjoy PD days where we don't have students in the building to teach. 

Whether it's prep time, meetings, division inservice or the cinnamon buns at the staff meeting in the morning, these days are golden! Sure they aren't always the most productive and sometimes the meetings and inservice you sit in on are not the best PD, but regardless, we're still getting paid and we get a break from the day to day grind that wears a teacher down and makes us look forward to those sacred long weekends and summer holidays!

Other times, the PD days fly by and the info you get truly inspires you with new ideas and gets you excited about getting back into he classroom with your students to try something new. 

Regardless, I, along with many other teachers look forward to these days where you can kick your feet up a little, take that little longer lunch with those colleagues that you don't always get to chat with when you'd like, and just breathe!

Just over a month until summer holidays...but who's counting?

ME!
