2011 Teachers' Summer Professional Development

During 2011 Faculty Orientation, several of your peers will facilitate a series of workshops instructing Department groups on the use of LibGuides, online text book resources, and technology as an assessment tool. 

As the School endeavors to use technology to advance our teaching and learning, we ask that each of you learn a new technology platform that will enhance your teaching next year.  The software/technology tool that you choose does not need to be something that you have your students use to create projects. Several tools are on the LibGuide that will add to your knowledge as a professional. You could join and follow a listserv or attend webinars within a community such as edweb.net, for example. (See the tab above "Free & Useful Communication Tools.") This LibGuide provides you with easy access to a selection of technology platforms; however you are not limited to working with only these tools.  During Orientation and Fall Term Department Meetings, you will present the program you learned and its usefulness as a teaching tool to your peers. 

By June 30th, please let your Department Head know what you plan to study this summer. 

By July 15th your Department Head will communicate a presentation schedule to the Department.  One person will present during orientation; all others will share their work during the scheduled Fall Term Department Meetings.

Happy learning,

 The Curriculum Committee
