Will our students be ready for a global workplace? Transforming Student Learning with CBL Last year, Salisbury Township School District implemented Professional Learning Communities K-12 as a way for teachers to model the District’s Mission Statement: Inspire, Think, Learn, Grow ~ Together.

Students FLIP for Movie Making with DEN STAR Jennifer Brinson
Become a STAR http://tinyurl.com/2dabg9h Something DEN STARS learned at the PETE&C DENPreCon 2009 and the DEN Summer Institute 2010 is paying BIG dividends, really taking us beyond the textbook. Our opening day at Salisbury Township School District in Allentown, PA had a different and exciting look and feel. It began with 20 presentations by teachers,
PA DEN STARS Shine at KTI Summit 2010
Several PA DEN STARS were present and very productive at the KTI Summit 2010 at Bucknell University. Because I may overlook someone (not there, so do forgive–comment and I’ll add your name), I am including the KTI Flickr photostream. Some of the DEN STARS I do recognize include Chris Champion, Kristin Hokanson, both of
Lynne Fedorcha: Reaching and Teaching Low Achievers
Lynne Fedorcha is an Educational Consultant for IU 21 and a Mentor for PA Initiative for Instructional Coaching or PIIC. Lynne’s presentation was the final session of a three-day workshop at LCTI, Teaching and Learning in Today’s World: Lessons from the Field, and the room was packed.

Teachers FLIP For Movie Making

Beth Breiner is “driving Miss Kinney’s” presentation, Hard-Wired to Bounce Back: Building Resiliency in Our At-Risk Students, so buckle up because we have 2 of the best in the business.

Sharon Kinney on SAS: No Longer Shooting Darts in the Dark!
The most difficult decision, after you commit to a conference or workshop, is selecting what you will attend. Often I choose by content courses that will fill a niche need, but sometimes my choices are governed by the presenter. Every time I see Sharon Kinney’s name on anything, I’m in, because I know the session
Jennifer Brinson Would Like to Teach the World to Ning and Rediscover Discovery
I just love attending conferences when I have the presenter’s materials at my fingertips. Even better if the materials are online, embeddable, with samples, additional resources, and alternatives. Best case scenario: I have the information before the presentation. Guess that’s why I always enjoy seeing Jennifer Brinson‘s name on a workshop, webinar, or conference. It
Meet Joe Oliphant: PAECT Leader of the Year 2010
