Staff Development Agenda
Health Fair and Data Analysis
9:00-3:00
The goal of the Feb. 8th staff development day is two-fold.
(1) It is an opportunity to learn about the various wellness options in the community and participate in health-related screenings
(2) To engage in collaborative work examining assessment data and to design targeted plans for the next steps for instruction.
Below you will see the agenda for the day. You will notice that staff will be rotating through the Health Fair in hour increments. We scheduled carefully so that each group would still have a block of time to analyze assessments and to create their targeted plans.
Teaching Staff:
Each building will meet with their principal to review the protocol and expectations for the analysis. This will also be reviewed with your department chair/team leaders prior to the staff development day so that everyone will be able to come prepared and with the appropriate materials. This format will be familiar to you, as it is based on pervious years’ agendas. Detailed agendas will be distributed prior to this staff day.
Support Staff: (Teaching Aides, Secretaries, DO Staff, Bus drivers and Food Service)
You will be participating in the Health Fair and Health sessions from 9:00-11:45. After lunch, you will return to your buildings. Please see the attached sheet to sign up for your sessions. This electronic sign up will be sent to you on Monday Jan. 14, 2008, from Barb Heald.
* Chair massages will be available throughout the fair. The change is $10.00 for a 10 minute head and neck message. We will schedule these in advance. Scheduling information will be forthcoming.

There have been many individuals working diligently on designing this day. I wish to thank each and every one of them for their time and effort. It should be a great day! ~Kim
