Principals' Virtual Breeze Series |
| In order to maximize scheduling flexibility and minimize time away from school centers, administrators will be provided a series of training modules that have been developed for use on Breeze. This structure will allow principals to participate in training according to individual priorities and schedules as well as allow time for reflection and review at any time throughout the FY10 school year. These Breeze trainings are open to all administrators - including assistant principals - on an optional basis. (Note: Area Superintendents may require participation of their area's administrators at their discretion.)
Principals may wish to select priority trainings to be completed with the school administrative team together during the year. Some principals may choose to join with other school teams to enhance the Breeze experience with shared activities and applications. Feedback will be gathered from the Breeze presentations and additional face-to-face training will be provided if the need is indicated and/or requested.
