SJASD New Teacher Orientation, Day 1

What a wonderful day! 

Thank you to all of our new professional staff for spending the day at our Professional Staff Development Center.   The day was full of events, somewhat of a cornucopia of all things teaching and learning.

We hope that through today's discussion and collaboration, most of our new staff were able to walk away with a sense of excitement and calmness.  There are many things to consider when starting your new teaching assignment and we hope that we were able to facilitate some of that thinking.

Always consider this:  Will what I am about to do or say bring me closer to the person with whom I am communicating—or will it push me further away?" 
Larry Ferlazzo





Enjoy your evening.  We look forward to tomorrow's opportunity for continued learning and professional collaboration.
