Greats news for those attending the August 3, 2023 PD session or those still interested. We have 7 spots left. Discovery Education is sponsoring lunch for all attendees! PD and free lunch!!!  Just wanted to share:)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very excited about our Discovery Education summer PD session on August 3, 2023. This is one session you will not want to miss. I just finished connecting with our DE trainer that will be facilitating the session. That is corret...this session will be facilitated by a DE trainer and will be designed for Special Education educators. I told her all about our programs and how some use the DE resources to share infront of the room whole group, and some assign directly to students. This will be a learn and explore session where we will be taking time to dive into the program between learning about Ready to use Activities, Studio Boards, Career Exploration, Virtual Field Trips, SEL actiivites, and a whole lot more!
