RE:                   Workshops for Coaches for 2008-09

This past school year, coaching institutes were conducted to provide consistent training in coaching skills as well as content skills.  Next school year, we will continue to provide professional development for all school-based coaches through monthly half-day workshops.   

You may register for the workshops on PD Express at: http://pdexpress.spps.org/ where they are listed by category. Questions about enrollment can be directed to Laurie Brazman, laurie.brazman@spps.org or 651-793-5529.

Attendance for coaches at this building content training is mandatory.

If you have any questions about this expectation, please contact Kate Wilcox-Harris

at 793–5475 or kate.wilcox-harris@spps.org.

Thank you.
