Spring+CPD

= Welcome to //Becoming a Skillful Teaching in the Carroll County Public Schools// Spring Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Wiki. = We are so glad you've joined us on this professional learning journey. The purpose of this CPD course is to encourage teacher collaboration and promote instructional consistency through alignment with CCPS polices and educational values. This wiki will serve several purposes throughout the semester. First, as a storage “house” for all of the materials presented in class including the syllabus, weekly agendas, handouts and links to various discussion topics. It will also serve as a means of collaboration with course participants through online discussions. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of the Mentor Teachers. We value your feedback and hope you enjoy the course.
