Dec 16 - Engineering Design in Science Curriculum
Objectives and Learning Outcomes
- Participants will have a clear understanding of the differences between scientific inquiry, active learning, and engineering practices.
- Teachers will experience engineering design principals as they can be applied to their science classrooms.
- Participants will discover how engaging students in the engineering practices of the NGSS supports the Common Core State Standards in both Mathematics and English/Language Arts.
- Participants will have collaborative conversations with colleagues from surrounding districts, creating a network of professional contacts that will be useful as a leader in home districts.

Jan 21 - Personalized Learning 101 - Personalized Learning!
Participants will gain a knowledge of the concepts and rationale for personalized learning and what is needed for implementation in local schools and classrooms.
We are targeting sustained support for the promise of Personalized Learning!
Dec 18 - Digital Integration Network
Technology can do great things to improvement student engagement and increase productivity, but that’s only if we know how to use the technology. These series of meetings will split time between demonstrating how to use various technologies (participants will help determine areas of interest) and participants sharing their current success stories/strategies.
Jan 9 - Teachscape Reflect - Navigating and Conducting Observations Webinar
- Using the tool and how to navigate the content fields

Feb 26 - Intervention, Enrichment, and Personalized Learning Fair
The fair will provide an opportunity for participants to view products and talk to representatives about those products in a central location on the same day. This is intended to help districts identify and decide which researched-based interventions will best serve their student populations for below- and above-benchmark interventions as well as developing personalized learning for all students.
