AUGUST 2011: District Staff Development Days
On our August Staff Development Days, the district will plan a variety of staff development opportunities for educators based on district initiatives and needs. Some sessions will be required, while other sessions are optional. Not all educators will have required meetings for the full three days, and individuals not attending staff development sessions are expected to work in their buildings. Updatesto this document will be sent to HCS Staff electronically. View detailed descriptions and register for most sessions using SD Online. This document is also posted on the district’s Staff Development website and the Horry County Schools homepage.
Lunches will not be provided, so educators should plan accordingly.
