While our students had the day off, our Region 1 diocesan Faculty & Staff members had a great morning of faith formation and professional development here at PND. Fr. Charles Klamut celebrated Mass with everyone and then gave an outstanding talk on “Catholic Social Teaching.” Then, staff members moved into different sessions covering topics from Questioning Strategies; Stress, Trauma, & the Brain; Math Fluency; Cooperative Learning & Engagement; and AI.
Special thanks to Dr. Amy Smith, Assistant Regional Superintendent of Peoria County for her guidance and staff support for professional development, as well as fellow presenters Michelle Coconate, Jen Crider, Marcia Lough, and Sonya Pacey.
