On Friday, February 14, Kenston hosted the second Professional Development Day of the school year. Dr. Meghan Barlow, Pediatric Psychologist, lead the day with a keynote for all teachers. The focus of the keynote was on building and strengthening teacher/staff relationships with students and the importance of inclusionary practices in the regular education classroom. She provided specific strategies for engaging students with challenging behaviors in the regular education environment. The remainder of the day was spent exploring the topics Dr. Barlow introduced through PK-12 mixed small groups and facilitated by our District Design Leaders.
Dr. Lori Wilfong also presented for an elementary session continuing her work with teachers in strengthening the writing standards across the curriculum.
