How Digital Resources Can Change the Way Educators Learn

Join us for a hands-on experience where we will discuss what makes a learning resource valuable and ways that educators can improve their personal learning experiences. During the session, educators will create collections of resources they find valuable. By the end of the session, you’ll have a set of resources to share with peers, and you’ll have access to the resource collections made by other participants. If you’re looking to discuss and share new classroom inspiration, tools, and other learning resources, this is the session for you!

From Credit Hours to Micro-credentials: Moving to a Competency-Based Professional Growth Model

In today’s world, it's important for teachers to adopt a lifelong learning mindset to continually expand their knowledge and improve student engagement. Continuous learning can come in many forms, and with or without the guidance of your principal or district. In this panel, we’ll explore traditional learning models and competency-based models of professional development. Is one better than the other, or should there be a balance? Can a shift be made? What are the implications? Join us for a lively discussion.
