Free Microburst Series for K-8 Administrators
We all know the importance of ongoing professional learning for administrators, but we also recognize the enormous demands on your time as a school or district administrator. That’s why we designed this short and focused online professional learning opportunity. Each session is only 20 minutes long and administrators can choose to attend the live session or watch the recording at their own convenience.
About the Series
As administrators focus their attention on mathematics, they often invest in professional learning for their teachers to support them in making pedagogical shifts that will promote student-centered learning and active engagement. However, what does that actually look like in the classroom and how can administrators support teachers in this work? This series aims to provide key insights that all K-8 administrators need to know to support this work in their schools. Each session is recorded for those that can’t attend live.
Dates: TBD
Time: All sessions will begin at 3:30 PM ET
Cost: Free
