Teacher Support: Sherman Oaks Community Charter
THIS is the level of support that teachers need to develop and share their skills in a collegial environment.
How wonderful and how practical! I imagine the block of time includes the students' lunch as well as P.E. activities.

I find it amazing that they are able to do this. I have many questions. How do they handle lunch? We don't have a cafeteria and have to do lunch in our classroom. Who watches the students? How do they fund the professional development?

This is superb! Good on you for acknowledging the deeper benefits of giving teachers time to share. I hope this inspires other schools.
