Quick answer
Schools running a teacher professional development or in-service day can use a custom wristband to identify workshop groups and give the training day a bit more cohesion among staff.
A whole-staff training day with multiple workshop streams benefits from a simple way to sort groups, and a wristband is an easy, low-cost solution.
Why wristbands work for teacher PD days
A wristband makes it easy for facilitators to identify which workshop group a staff member belongs to, especially across a day with several rotating sessions.
Identifying workshop groups
Assigning a colour per workshop stream helps a large staff group move between sessions smoothly, without checking a printed schedule at every door.

Design ideas for teacher PD wristbands

Why debossed wristbands suit staff events
