Jenn clarified the purpose of the 1-1 Conference in April. The options are the we can Send 5 elementary staff or that we can dismiss at 12:30 and all staff attend the conference. BLT members discussed whether what is presented would be relevant to elementary Teachers. For elementary staff, the focus would be on technology integration and not The 1-1. A third option was discussed - if we dismiss at 12:30 and there are not enough Relevant sessions, that elementary staff could conduct their own technology workshop. Jenn said that she would check into the number of sessions for elementary and whether Staff would have that option.
