TPD and various ASD departments have put together a fabulous professional development opportunity for ASD teachers! During the months of February and March, teachers can attend over 30 unique sessions around any different topics. The LA department is offering something for LA teachers at all grade levels in topics such as fluency, vocabulary, and digital writing.
You can search the District Catalog in MLP with the search terms "teacher institute" to see all the offerings, and new sessions are still being added. The sessions are free of charge, and teachers who attend 15 hours can earn a CEU (Continuing Education Unit). This CEU can be used in the same way as a one-credit course for salary advancement, and can also be used for re-certification with the state of AK DEED. (NOTE: AK DEED charges $50 fee per CEU.)
Questions can be directed to Mike Belloni or Pat Odin in TPD. Or to Martina Henke, as always!
