Getting Ready for the New School Year
As soon as one school year ends it is time to get ready for the next. For me that means that I start getting materials ready for new teacher orientation and set up new professional development for the teachers. This year we are developing our self-serve PD using Schoology and will be adding badges to mark staff successful completion of the various topics.
In prepping my material I review the old sites we recommend for teachers, as well as, look for new ones. There are numerous sites that help teachers in developing dynamic and engaging curriculum. In going through them I was reminded about TED Ed and the tool they have to help develop flipped lessons and a list of curated lessons that are ready to use. If you have not used it or need a refresher may I suggest starting with the website tour.
