UPDATE:

TEACHER REPS FOR PD EVOLUTION 4 & 5

THE BKHS TEACHER PD DESIGN TEAM
After our roundtables/staff meeting on Feb 6 & 13th we did not reach full consensus on how to proceed but got
a lot of good feedback and ideas. As a result of those roundtables we decided to best move the process
forward by:
1. Clarifying the expectations and time commitments for committee members (aka Job description).
2. Put a selection procedure in place

SELECTION PROCEDURE
• Interested parties have until 9:00 AM Friday morning Feb 29 to submit a one paragraph (4-8 sentences) e-
mail to aBKHS07@umich.edu explaining:
1. why you would like to be a part of this committee
2. what talent skills and ideas you would bring to the design group

From that pool we will review applications and select up to four interested parties for the team with an eye to
announcing those selections at Friday’s full staff meeting.
