2019 Lead 3 Symposium

Devices in the hands of students have little impact if teachers are not trained to integrate technology effectively within the lesson design. The Connect initiative moves beyond devices to ensure connection and equity.  In developing the Connect initiative, our district addressed devices, internet access at home through an LTE network, and teacher training.  This session will describe the processes and strategies used to involve multiple departments, ensuring that cross department teams worked together to make decisions regarding student devices, at home internet connection, and plans for professional development.  

Regardless of your age, every educator hopes to be engaged as a professional and empowered as an individual. Staff meetings are the precious moments we can depend upon as team leaders to bring everyone together and truly take our community to the “next level.” Get experience with impactful, simple instructional strategies that are sure to bring more choice, clarification, connectivity, and celebration to your next meeting and professional development day.

Areas that will be explored: 

• Gamification
  
• Passion Projects
  
• Game-Based Learning
  
• Competency-Based Learning
  
• Creative Communication
  
• Meeting Protocols
  

If we want our teachers to infuse their classrooms with excellent instruction, we have to model it!
