Pop Up PD
The OTL (Office of Teaching and Learning) is happy to announce an exciting district-wide professional learning initiative. Pop Up PD sessions are short, informal and focused on a single topic. Three key words associated with Pop Up PD are short, specific, and practical. Learn more about these sessions by visiting our new website @ https://sites.google.com/student.boyertownasd.org/popuppd. The first Pop Up PD session will take place during the week of 9/25. You will be able to participate virtually with a Twitter account. Sign up for Twitter today if you don’t already have an account.
