Welcome back from CurTech93! We are very excited for the 2016-2017 school year!
We have three professional development opportunities to consider for the first part of the school year. Please let Karen and Becky know if you have any questions.
We will be hosting the Discovery Education DEN Ambassador Phase 1 program again this fall. This LEAD course will introduce you to the DEN Ambassador program, focus on incorporating technology and teaching with digital media, and looking into all the opportunities for learning and growth with Discovery Education. We have three face-to-face meetings (with pizza!):
Wednesday, September 14th Elsie Johnson Innovation Center 4:15pm-5:45pm
Wednesday, October 19th Carol Stream Innovation Center 4:15pm-5:45pm
Wednesday, November 30th Roy DeShane Innovation Center 4:15pm-5:45pm
We are offering an online book study for the book Flip Your Classroom by John Bergmann and Aaron Sams. Bergmann and Sams give practical advice and tips for flipping your classroom. All teachers, all grade levels and content areas can benefit from this book study. The book study meets completely online. We have no set meeting time (My Learning Plan indicates a day/time, but it is simply a placeholder). This is a work at your own pace book study. The book study begins November 4th. Books will be provided to anyone enrolled in My Learning Plan.
Finally, we are offering the Independent Study again for the year. Independent Study allows you to explore and take a series of lessons or a unit to the deeper end of the SAMR pool. Participants can work individually or in a group setting. You keep track of your individual hours throughout your study. Everyone participates in our Showcase of Learning in May - an informal presentation/poster session of projects from the year. Our review/informational meeting is on Wednesday, September 21st at the District Office 4:15pm-5:15pm. Please sign-up in My Learning Plan or contact Karen and Becky if you are interested.
All three of these opportunities are available in My Learning Plan.
