If your grade level is involved in Year 1 of the project (3rd grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 9th grade*), you will be registering to attend our Digital Learning Boot Camp this summer. Teachers attending the Digital Learning Boot Camp will learn the tools they need to start off on the right foot teaching 21st century students in a digitally-enhanced classroom. Each of the three days will include work time individually and in teams to help you adequately prepare for the 2016-2017 school year and beyond. Teachers will be compensated at the curriculum writing rate and will receive continuing education credits as well.
There are three different options for attending:
- Option 1: July 11, 12, 13, 8 am - 3 pm, MS Media Center (times may change)
- Option 2: August 15, 16, 17, 8 am - 3 pm, MS Media Center (times may change)
- Option 3: Online cohort (self-paced learning from July 11 through August 17)
If you are part of the Year 1 cohort, you will receive more detailed information, including directions for registering, soon. Until then, please pencil in the dates on your calendar that work best for you!
*Since high school teachers generally teach mixed grade classes, we will divide teachers into different groups (Year 1, Year 2, etc.) based on the percentage of 9th graders in their courses.
