Teachers' Voices:
If you had more control of one hour within your workday, how would you use it?
- "How about providing time for professional development workgroups to meet? Teachers decide on the protocol (critical friends, lesson study, problem of practice, etc) and get paid time to implement those practices." -Brian Cohen, Teacher, School District of Philadelphia
Making Time for Teachers ~ Wed, May 22, 2013:

Bring your daily or weekly schedule, an appetite, and a thinking cap (Act 48 credits will be provided). Teachers' recommendations will be shared with colleagues as well as representatives from the Philadelphia School District and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. Connect with teachers HERE.
