EdTrex Discovery is a custom designed professional development adventure. When we think about improving our role as educators we quickly jump to finding a conference to attend. There is another way! An EdTrex Discovery experience is a fully customized professional development journey that is designed for a small group to go on a learning adventure that inspires, ignites, and helps to rediscover their passion for teaching.
A group of 16 educators set out to discover what it means to be innovative and how to implement the design thinking process in to their classrooms, schools, and districts. The follow agenda is the custom professional development experience that targeted specific objectives, inspired the group, and motivated them to bring back and share what they learned.
