Learning Highlights Teacher Professional Development In January, our teachers participated in a professional development opportunity focused on college and career readiness. The teachers attended four different panel discussions. Panel 1 was a group of local Human Resource Representatives who spoke about how we can best support our students in being “career ready”; the panelists discussed how students should develop a resume, provided interview tips and suggestions, and discussed the impacts of “cringe worthy” social media posts and pictures on the hiring process. Panel 2 was a group of College Admissions Representa- tives and Military Recruiters. They shared what they are looking for in their ideal candidates and provided suggestions for us to share with our students. Panel 3 was a group of College Professors from Swarthmore, Villanova, and MCCC. They shared what strengths and needs they are seeing with incoming freshmen. Panel 4 was a group of WHS Alumni from the past 15 years. Hearing directly from them was extraordinarily powerful. Our teachers shared positive feedback about their learning and experiences during this professional development and I am confident that our students are going to reap the rewards. In February, our teachers participated in a team-building professional development session. Our teachers took on the role of our students and attended various colleague-led “IEs” highlighting the talents, strenghts, and hobbies within our WHS staff family. Teachers practiced yoga, completed crossword puzzles, enjoyed laser etching in our FabLab, learned how to paint with watercolors, and learned how to bake among many other options!
