Notes

REQUIRED TEXTS: Shift This by Joy Kirr

Participants will read the book (a required text) and engage in weekly EdChats (via Twitter) around central themes. The weekly essential questions will create a community conversation that will support teachers from all grade levels and content areas (and experience) in examining their practice and making small changes.
A culminating reflection will provide participants with the opportunity to commit to a few small but powerful change-items that result in intentional planning for a strong start to the 2018 school year.

This course is being offered in partnership with Las Virgenes Unified School District. To be eligible for enrollment in this course you must be a teacher in this school district.
