Model Classroom PD

I'm so excited to be working with a very talented, dedicated and innovative group of staff!  Three times a year the Pulaski Model Classroom teachers meet for PD to improve their craft of teaching with technology.  Discussions center around instructional practices, how kids today learn, what kids today need from their education, and developing a toolbox of resources to meet their needs.

We are meeting for the day at NWTC in their awesome innovation lab.  Thanks NWTC for allowing us to use this highly productive and collaborative classroom.

Here's a breakdown of our day:
1.  Fishbowl Discussions/Sharing:  "I'm excited about" and "I'm growing in my profession because of the availability of technology in these ways."

2.  4 C’s in PCSD:  Showcase your Students: Share an example of student work showcasing an app or site that allowed students to use technology for collaboration, creation, critical thinking and/or to
engage with content.

3.  Discussion:  "How do students learn and what do they need from us today?"
