1.2 Professional Development
Staff Participation and AwaREness
St. Margaret's Day School employs 14 teachers and 17 total staff for daily operations. SMDS has made a lasting commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative environmental teaching and learning. All staff members plan and participate in our environmental initiative activities. All staff members attend regular staff meetings in which our green initiatives are discussed and updated and progress on our Green School Certification Application is discussed. All teachers have met with our Green School committee members to outline their class activities, brainstorm new ideas, and align curriculum standards and practices with green initiative principles.
