Excitement was in the air at Dooly County School System's Professional Learning Day! We kicked off the day with Code of Ethics training led by PAGE attorney Alfreda Sheppard. Our 6th-8th grade math teachers engaged with Carnegie Learning consultant Crystal Clayton, while K-3 ELA teachers explored the science of reading with Rebecca Loera with the Rollins Center, and high school educators collaborated with Dr. Dickey from Educational Epiphany to design impactful lessons. It was a day full of learning, growth, and inspiration for our incredible educators!
HAPPY LABOR DAY
