Applied Learning Leader Session at Spring PD Day
Register for this event by February 14th.
Back by popular demand! We heard from you that dedicated time to collaborate with like-minded leaders has helped accelerate Applied Learning work in your buildings. During PLTW MA Spring PD Day, we will host a special Applied Learning session for PLTW leaders that will run during the morning sessions.
In the session, you will craft a plan to help your teachers increase relevancy and meaning through assigned projects/activities, leading to more student engagement. Co-facilitated by the Nipmuc HS leaders, John Clements and Mary Anne Moran, we will introduce their structured approach to improving high-quality tasks, drawing inspiration from your PLTW bright spots.
Note: If you register for the Applied Learning Leader Session, you do NOT also need to register for Spring PD Day. Your registration for the Leader Session will include all other aspects of Spring PD Day – including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon sessions (see agenda below).
This session is by invite only with limited availability. Please reach out to Sissela Tucker ([email protected]) if you have any questions.
