Other Comments:

I have already related to our curriculum director that this training should be brought to our entire district. Wonderful! Needs to be shared w/ (presented to) school districts - entire teams. Thanks for sharing such great ideas! Morning was very informative. Amount of time on afternoon activities was too long. Really wanted more information on differentiated instruction within a classroom. Be flexible with your ten day plan. Shorter session. Thank-you! Great, informative, and motivating. Offer lunch in and release earlier. 1/2 hour limit. How about programs surrounding - response to intervention, - special education geared to regular education teachers (their responsibilities, etc.). Bring-in lunch. Limit lunch to 1/2 hour. Release earlier.
