This year, you can choose to complete your professional development in an intense workshop model with two days of training prior to the start of school, on August 11 and August 14. To meet our goal of ongoing and reflective professional learning, participants can expect to share their learning and progress with topics in PLCs.
This three-day workshop that takes place from June 11-13 in Fort Thomas, is designed to help educators develop learning experiences that lead to sustained changes in practice, using tried-and-true strategies for Project Based Learning (PBL). During the workshop, we will use our content standards, knowledge of students, and profile of learner competencies to design a project for our students.
For this option, teacher will earn 9 hours of District PD and can request additional PD credit for flex PD from their building administrators.
Teachers who participate in the 3 day training can expect support in implementing their project.
Join NKCES's Blair Hicks in considering how to analyze standards to deconstruct standards, identify desired results, gather evidence of learning and design instruction with a sense of clarity. Consider skills and discussions that you will want to explore with your PLCs all year.
