Reinventing Professional Learning
Classrooms are always evolving yet teacher professional learning plans are often stagnant, stuck in a one-size-fits-all model that leaves teachers wanting more. In order to best meet the needs of our teachers and students professional learning needs to adapt. Let me show you how to reinvent your professional learning plan as I share tips and tricks to take what you are doing to the next level and personalize PD, by creating anytime anywhere learning modules, and foster total teacher engagement through elements of gamification. Let's make PD a truly immersive, collaborative, and engaging experience.
