As the 2019/2020 school year comes to a close, the Kent ISD PD Hub would like to share summer opportunities for professional learning. Keeping in mind that the coming school year format is undecided, we asked our education technology team to share a list of events that will benefit educators no matter the classroom format. Below is a list of events that will be the best bang for your buck!

Kent ISD Remote Learning Bootcamp

Starting July 20, 2020

After surveying hundreds of area educators, we found that the largest requests for professional learning revolved around building capacity in the areas of preparing students for blended learning using technology, best practices of online instructional design, screen recording of instructional content, and assessment for learning.  To that end, we’ll be providing self-paced learning modules for you to use and learn from.
