Linsey is the author of PAWsitive choices, an SEL curriculum that was used in many BLP k-1 classrooms this past year. A couple of clarifications\/explanations are in order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PAWsitive Choices is a district approved program- you may use it if you want.<\/li>\n<li>PAWsitive Choices is NOT a district adopted curriculum and there are no plans at this time to make it so in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Linsey has resigned her teaching position and will not be a BLP employee next school year. She is heading out on her own and the flier you received is advertising her PD services if you choose to pursue. You may have teachers share their desire to receive the PD, but you do not have to and this. Once again, it is not a district adopted program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Feel free to call me if you have any questions or would like more background.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Principals and Assistant Principals<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 <b><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1f_zva8dXGtlY8FkfR-EmFcRdgAmSPS6RgPbUWgiVxGI\/edit\">Here is a link to a document<\/a><\/b> that is an overview of summer dates, events and trainings.\u00a0 Hopefully it will help you keep your heads together and on top of what\u2019s happening this summer.
