Workshop Materials

Many districts and schools find it useful to have additional meetings for school team members – shorter and smaller meetings – at least a couple of times a year. These meetings are often held in different regions of large districts, often at a school, for about 90 minutes after the school day. The following materials were developed for use at such meetings and are shared here (in editable formats) for use in other contexts.
