Summer vacation offers teachers an opportunity to reflect and re-charge before the hectic pace of the next school year becomes a reality. If you are thinking about incorporating something new into your teaching repertoire for next year, look no further than our catalog of online and face-to-face Summer Instructional Technology workshops. With over 20 professional learning offerings, there is something for every teacher at every grade level to help you transform your instruction through meaningful instructional technology integration.
Digital Badges
This year, we are incorporating the concept of "digital badges" into our professional learning courses. Digital badges are an emerging tool to help identify and validate our teachers' skills, knowledge, accomplishments, and competencies...think of it as a Boy or Girl Scout earning a merit badge to demonstrate mastery of a specific skill. It is our hope that each building will have pockets of experts who can share their knowledge with their colleagues and help build capacity throughout the district. You can check out our Badge List here. Don't stop till you collect 'em all!
