What are teachers doing during the summer? Of course they take time off to re-charge. They also spend time honing their craft through professional learning opportunities and developing their course curriculum.
We had four teacher teams spend two-to-four weeks creating new curriculum and developing student projects at SDUSD Project-Based Learning institute. Students in Info Tech (Ms. Leon & Scottie Lee), Digital Media Production (Mr. Sparks & Mr. Zauderer), Internship (Ms. Cantwell) and Freshman Foundations (Ms. Leon, Ms. Diggs, & Ms. Cantwell) better be ready for some fun learning experiences. Thank you teachers!
