Breaking out of PD:We gave it a try and asked our high school staff to use their knowledge of their PD initiatives this year to complete the breakout. 3 of the 4 teams broke out in the allotted time, and although we may have helped a little, it was a great experience for everyone (both as facilitators and as players). The teachers brainstormed some ways they could use these in their own rooms. Thanks for giving it a try with us!
