I've been to many school-wide professional developments in my life, but today I had the first one at my new school. Here is a list of analogies illustrating the differences between beginning-of-the-year PD at public school and PD at a Jewish day school.
Public School: Jewish Day School
Discussing your summer with fellow teachers: Discussing your health conditions with fellow teachers
Cold coffee: Movie-theater-concession-sized candy bars, cookies, lox
Revealing your suntan: Revealing your feelings
Arguing about how to teach fractions: Arguing about how to best nurture self-esteem
Finding out you have three Victors on your roster: Finding out you have three Moshes in your class
There you have it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make math stations.
