Professional Development days for teachers take place four times a year.

Two are designated and conducted by the School District of Mystery Lake.  The other two include the Manitoba Teacher Society’s PD day, formerly known as SAGE,  and another session in February put on by the Thompson Teachers Association.

Cathy Pellizarro, President of the TTA, explains their purpose.

“It’s the opportunity for teachers to develop professionally in many areas. It can be their own professional development or professional development directed by the provincial government in education or the school divisions. It covers a variety of needs that the teacher may have in their growth as a teacher.”

Pellizzaro is asking for community members to come forward if they are interested in conducting a session for the upcoming February PD day.

To indicate your interest or request information you are asked to reach out to Debby Belyea at dbelyea@mysterynet.mb.ca.
