Summer Professional Development Opportunities
1. PLU ACLD 278
Technology Topics for 21st
Century Administrators:
Best Practices (PLUACLD 278)
Location: Auburn University Haley Center
LRC Classroom 3430
Date: June 16 & July 21
Time: 8:30 AM- 3:30 PM
Technology Topics for 21st Century Administrators: Best Practices is a hybrid professional learning group that provides both face-to-face and online content to support educational leadership in our students’ technological world. For this professional learning group, school leaders will review best practices and cutting-edge technology. They will also develop technology skills and strategies to better support their teachers and improve student achievement. Participants will discuss ideas and strategies with other leaders in the group and apply them to their own practice.
Collaboration in the 21st Century –
Collaboration is essential for you as an administrator as we try to do more with less and maximize the use of our time. In this module participants examine synchronous and asynchronous collaboration. Participants will use some digital productivity tools to collaborate on a job-embedded task.
Enhancing and Maximizing a School’s Web Presence –
Gone are the days of primarily communicating via printed media, which is out of date by the time the ink is dry. In this module participants will examine the essential elements of a school website and take a look at each school’s existing web presence. Participants will discuss social networking and explore resources to enhance a school’s website.
Leading and Learning in a Blended Learning Environment –
Participants will investigate several blended learning models and learn what administrators can do to support classroom teachers as they struggle to integrate student-centered approaches in a technology-infused blended learning environment.
