It’s been quite a while since we’ve been able to get together, and apparently we’ve forgotten how to count, we seem to have missed a few episode numbers. Anyway, as a way to combat our own “summer slide” we discussed some of the finer points of summer – ESY vs. summer camp, or should we have year round school. Just some of our opinions!

Tonight we focus on Professional Development. As many of us are preparing to head off into summer shortly we decided to take a look at how we can personally keep up with our own professional/personal development.
