  12. Exit Ticket • Please write • Three things I would like to see in next year’s PDU are: Another great instructor, Continued support, and constant feedback and suggestions. • Two things that I took away from the PDU this year are: I need to be better at using my word wall and how important it is to really know the grade levels of my students. • As far as constructive criticism, I would like to see this done earlier.  I think that this information would’ve been super beneficial in October, and now, I feel that I did not use it as effectively as possible.
