   • Training opportunities we’ve tossed around before:
     • Designating at least 3 weekly walk-in hours for faculty that are theme specific (making sure that each teacher’s schedule permits them to attend at least one) maybe we could do this the week after departmental meetings?
     • Monthly Faculty meetings (need to determine topics)
     • Something special on the Fall & Spring Faculty Work Days (November 2 or April 18)?
     • Online front page (change each month - what should I do for October?)
     • Before/After School?
     • Tuesday meeting times
     • Double Lunches?
     • One-on-one training is going well
     • Diane is training & experimenting with Allison in lab - wonderful!
     • Other? In the future: small group staff dev idea
