I used to go to a lot of PD in my first few years, but not so much anymore! Occasionally my district will send a few teachers to a training, or a few teachers will find a training and go together. We used to have a larger budget for PD, but now it’s definitely smaller. If you go to PD it’s assumed you will come back and turnkey the PD to a group of teachers. It’s not my cup of tea lol!
We have parent teacher conferences twice a year and students/parents are invited to attend meet the teacher night once a year (kind like open house). As a special education teacher I have at least one annual review meeting where parents are invited and most attend, sometimes it’s a re eval year so we meet twice! On the rare occasion I have program review meetings or attendance meetings with parents, but those aren’t for every kid and definitely not every year at my school!
