The 2023-2024 Ray-Pec school calendar includes eight staff collaboration days. These are days when students do not attend school, and teachers work together and make plans to improve instruction.
This is the second year for the dedicated collaboration days. Teachers and principals use the time in a variety of ways, including:
- Learning from colleagues
- Providing feedback on lesson plans
- Gaining new ideas
- Diving into data
- Reviewing student academic achievement
- Discussing instructional strategies
- Planning lessons using new resources
Watch a video taken during the most recent staff collaboration day on Sept. 18. In the first episode of a new video series, Ray-Pec Learning Lens, learn more about what goes on during collaboration days and why they're so important to our staff.
Last year, the district's podcast, Ray-Pec Connect, featured a discussion about the collaboration days. Creekmoor Elementary School Principal Ashley Tegenkamp, 4th-grade Teacher Crystal Hawley, and 7th grade science Teacher Joanna Clark joined Superintendent Dr. Mike Slagle for a conversation about the why, what, and how of these important days.
