WeareLOVINGProfessional Development in theMonthof February!

The professional development calendar for February is full of opportunities that can help school administrators and other educators better serve their districts, staff, students and community. We wind down Remote Learning Rescue Series 3.0 with one more week of virtual workshops for educators. Seats are still available for Google Go-Tos for Remote Instruction, Where Did You Find That?, Digital Assessment Amazingness and Top Websites to Know. Don’t miss out on this last chance to support virtual classrooms in your district. Just a reminder if you have a lot of staff that needs remote learning training, don’t hesitate to contact me about setting up a private workshop for your district.

in our country, IASA is proud to partner with Dr. Donna Leak and Dr. Sonya Whitaker on a new workshop series designed to help educators implement more culturally responsive practices in their districts. Part 1 was held in November and the follow up session is scheduled for February 11th from 10:00 a.m. to noon via Zoom. The target audience is Superintendents, Administrators and Teachers. Register here. School administrators are highly encouraged to participate in session two with key teachers in the district. Session two will focus on the lens of a classroom teacher and is designed to provide teachers with a level of understanding related to how to implement equity based, culturally responsive instructional practices at the classroom level. “” Thank you for hosting and facilitating today’s wonderful lunch and learn!
