East Valley's Monday Minute
Information for Educators - October 2018
Professional Development in East Valley
In August we sent 90 East Valley educators to Solution Tree's PLC AT WORK Institute, in Seattle. We are proud to be able to continue to emphasize the importance of working in our professional learning communities to ensure that we provide data-driven, differentiated instruction in all of our buildings, for all of our students.
In addition to providing the opportunity for staff members to attend the PLC Institute, we also hosted nearly 70 teachers at our Technology Fair on August 20th. A day to learn about how to promote the use of technology in our classrooms, from Google Basics to classroom websites, the fair was a huge success.
We will continue to provide in-district professional development opportunities, led by our own educators, throughout the school year - be on the lookout for sessions coming soon!
Don't miss these opportunities!
