Ever wonder what happens on Teacher Inservice Days?

On Monday and Tuesday, our Ell-Saline Elementary teachers traded their classrooms for two days packed full of learning, collaboration, and LOTS of brainpower!

Our teachers:

Completed dyslexia training with Jill Hodge.

Participated in professional development focused on incorporating structured literacy practices across the curriculum.

Worked together to prepare for our upcoming KESA School Improvement Day.

Reviewed HIIPs (High-Impact Instructional Practices) strategies to strengthen classroom instruction.

Learned about the Kansas Individualized Literacy Plan (KILP) that the state will introduce next fall.

And yes, we even squeezed in a little team building and fun along the way!

These days are packed to the brim, and by the end, our teachers' brains are definitely working overtime! But behind all the information, planning, and collaboration is one common goal: finding ways to make learning even better for our students!
