The Big Picture: We flipped the script on traditional professional learning yesterday, proving that the best experts are often sitting in the classroom next door.
👉 The Strategy: Instead of outside consultants, our staff took the lead. Teachers and administrators designed and facilitated a menu of sessions tailored to real-world classroom needs.
Choice-driven: Staff customized their morning by selecting three sessions from a diverse pool of options.
Peer-to-peer: By leveraging internal talent, we ensured the content was immediately applicable and grounded in Ramsey’s specific culture.
Relevance: Participants gravitated toward topics most urgent to their current instructional goals.
⭐ Community Building Example: Veteran educators Scott Sirota and Kristen Reidy (pictured above) helped lead a roundtable discussion for non-tenured staff to connect and grow together.
👏 Kudos to the skilled staff who led the sessions and to all participants for their active engagement! Thanks also to Dr. Biunno, our Director of Academics, for spearheading this impactful day of professional growth.
