Keller ISD- this Friday, April 8!
Good morning! Please find details for this Friday’s LFNTX meeting below. If you have not yet RSVP’d please do so here. It’s going to be a great day for friends, fun, & learning!
We are so excited to host LFNTX in Keller on April 8th. We will be at the Keller ISD Administration building, 350 Keller Parkway, Keller, TX 76248. Please enter at the visitor’s entrance (the rock building) on the west side of the building. From there, you will follow the arrows to the Texas Rooms where we will be meeting. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and light breakfast-y snacks will be provided.
We will spend the morning in our POP groups.
For the afternoon session, we are partnering with KickUp for an interactive session. Keller will share how our first year teacher induction program and mentoring is structured and the shortfalls and barriers we have faced this year to support our first year teachers and mentors. As a group we will dig into and discuss how we can overcome some of these challenges our current times have put on our professional learning.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Keller on Friday! Make it a great week.
