August 21st is a Curriculum & Instruction workday. Some of us have dual roles we fill at our school as the primary technology contact. Those of us who have dual roles should attend the appropriate content meeting on the 21st (English, CTE, Math, etc.). PD coordinators at each school have the August 21 workday agenda.
If you are a full time technology facilitator or a full time technology teacher, the expectation is that you attend one of the curriculum areas to better understand and support curricular needs this year.
