Greetings from the Long Island PD Resource Center (PDRC)

As we enter the reflective month of June, the Long Island PD Resource Center invites you to pause and look back on the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon together this year. Our theme, “Reflecting and Growing,” encourages you to take a moment to acknowledge your achievements, learn from your experiences, and plan for future growth.

This past year has been filled with challenges and triumphs (as usual) – each contributing to your professional and personal development. Your unwavering commitment to your students and your continuous pursuit of excellence have been truly inspiring. As we reflect on these moments, we celebrate the progress made and the resilience shown by each of you.

In this month’s edition:

Workshop Recap: Reflect on the impactful workshops and training sessions that have guided us throughout the year. Visit our Presenters/Workshop Resources for insightful summaries and new materials to support your continued growth.

Upcoming Events in June: Sign up for our end of the year reflection workshop!

Reflection in the Classroom: Embrace the theme of reflection with innovative lesson ideas in the Math Corner, the ELA Shelf, and the Tech Update pages. Discover ways to integrate reflective practices into your curriculum, helping students to assess their progress and set new learning goals.

As we reflect on the past and look forward to the future, let’s celebrate the milestones we’ve achieved and the growth we’ve experienced. Together, we can continue to foster a culture of continuous improvement and educational excellence.

Here’s to a month of reflection, growth, and endless possibilities!
