Teacher/Supervisor/Administrator Workshops: Possible Examples• How do I write student friendly learning goals that are measurable?• What is PBSIS and how will it help my classroom management?• Why do we grade homework? Should it count as a grade?• How do I find authentic, primary source articles using Google?• Why do we teach fractions to third grade students and what are the

implications down the road?• What is the Engineering Design Loop and why is it essential to

today’s learners?• Success and failure … how do we encourage risk taking?• Google Teacher Academy … what apps are effective in my

classroom?

Incentives:• Teachers earn PD hours presenting what they truly love and what

motivates them…• Teachers earn “comp” hours that can be “cashed” in during the

spring.
