Inservice Overview
Morning Sessions
Staggered Lunches
If you attend the SWPRSC Poverty Simulation at the Civic Center, you will go directly to lunch if your assigned building is CMS. If your assigned building is DCMS, you need to return to DCMS for your PreEdCamp session (required) before going to lunch!
443 EdCamp Afternoon
Watch the EdCamp video below for more details on how EdCamps work, but remember that suggesting a session DOES NOT mean you are presenting!!! EdCamp sessions are conversations, not presentations!

Movement in the Classroom
“Letting kids move in the classroom isn’t a break from learning. It is learning!” Sure you have heard all about brain “breaks;” maybe you even use them in your classroom. STOP! No, don’t stop doing them; STOP calling them brain breaks! The brain is working. Let’s call them what they are: “BRAIN BOOSTS!” Movement in the classroom doesn’t JUST mean putting in a “Go Noodle” video. There are many ways to make your current lessons include movement! Check out this session for several ideas that can help you get your students up and moving! Are you thinking, “This isn’t for my classroom?” Guess what? It is! It’s for ALL classrooms!
