Testimonials
Look at these comments from participants' workshop evaluations:

"I really enjoy the workshops.  I have been very worried about Common Core.  These workshops make me feel empowered."-It's the Question, Not the Verb participant

"Enjoyed the person that led the workshop!  She was very interesting and kept my attention after a day at school!"-Literacy across the Curriculum participant

"Great job of modeling specific activities which could be implemented immediately into my classroom.
Loved the way she used collaboration to implement the workshop strategies!"-Reading Comprehension in the Elementary Grades participant

"The workshop used teaching methods we could use in our classrooms to teach us new information.  It was very helpful."-Upgrading Your Lessons to Meet the Common Core participant

"The presenter was excellent and shared information in a way that was not threatening or overwhelming.  She spoke from a teacher's perspective."-ELA Writing and the Common Core participant

"It was helpful to see examples of easy-to-duplicate writing activities. Just meeting with different teachers and learning from them is great! The presenter was excellent and down to Earth."-Social Studies and the Common Core participant

"I love getting things I can put to immediate use in the classroom."-Power Searching with Google participant

"I LOVED this and found the information very useful and beneficial across the board for all grades and levels."-Going beyond Google participant

"I do not see how it could have been any better. Any grade level could have come and walked away with more than just some science information. She gave us so much more."-iPads in the Science Classroom participant 

"I have not used Pinterest before, at all.  This showed me where to find lots of wonderful ideas from other educators that are available, mostly free, to use with my students!  The short session was helpful on a school night.  The location was so convenient.  Thank you SO very much."-Pinterest for Educators participant

"I just can't thank you enough for having these workshops!!  It is refreshing to be re-energized by such great ideas!!  Thank you!  Thank you!!"-iPads for Common Core Literacy participant
We Want to Help

The CVPDN is intended to meet the needs of our individual school districts. If you need training in a particular area, let us know. This can be anything: technology integration, using the TLE process for improving instruction, Common Core, and a wide variety of other areas. Our staff has expertise in many areas, and we will bring in experts for those topics which we feel require a different skill set.

Additionally, we don’t want the traditional “one and done” PD session. If you have teachers who need help after a workshop, have them contact Jake. He will be happy to assist them, even coming to their classroom if needed. At the end of the year, we want you to look back and think, “The Canadian Valley Professional Development Network was the best investment we made this year!”

To schedule workshops, online training, classroom visits, or receive technical assistance, call Jake Heister at 405.422.2317 or email jheister@cvtech.edu.
