Upcoming PD Opportunities for November:

*From 9 a.m.-noon on November 7 and 14, virtually: Collaborative Teams that Transform Schools*

The core of a professional learning community is the network of collaborative teams ? the groups of teachers who work together to improve student learning. Collaborative teams have the potential to transform major aspects of teaching and learning. Learn how to transition from teachers who work in isolation to teachers who work in collaboration and from stakeholders who think in terms of my responsibility to stakeholders who think in terms of our responsibility.

Learning outcomes may include:


* Gain a model of effective instruction and strategies for direct instruction.
* Explore resources for collaborative teams to use as they have honest and challenging discussions, set and monitor norms, and focus on the right work.
* Chart progress and transformation with self-evaluation surveys.
* Study how real schools have successfully implemented the strategies discussed during the training.

Participants must attend both virtual sessions for .5 PTSB credit. Register *here* [ [link removed] ].

*From 9:30-11 a.m. on November 8, virtually: Independent Learning for EL Students?*

In teaching we need to provide ample time for students to practice in order for students to transfer the new knowledge learned. And for EL students, a need to also understand the language is needed in order to be successful for independent learning. In this session we will explore and discuss ways for meaningful and deliberate independent practice to occur.

There will be two times available, one being a repeat session so if one time does not work for you, an opportunity to attend another session is available.
