My Quest to be a Know-It-All
Professional Development is something that I take seriously, and I am constantly researching about the latest developments in education and I am eager to share with my colleagues what I have learned. When I’m not reading, I’m engaging in Educational “Hangouts” or Twitter chats. I love MOOCs and take at least 3 a year.
I have highlighted just some of my professional development that I have formally received.
Professional Development that I have attended:
- Introduction to the Primary Years Programme Curriculum Model (International Baccalaureate)
- Teaching and Learning (International Baccalaureate)
- 3-5 Year Olds (International Baccalaureate)
- Role of the Coordinator (International Baccalaureate)
- Differentiated Instruction (Staff Development for Educators)
- Digital Learning (Intel Teach to the Future Program)
- Structured English Immersion (Arizona State University)
- Systematic Change in Reading (Arizona Department of Education)
- Conceptual Based Learning in Math (Math and Science Partnership Grant, University of Arizona)
- Enhancing Creativity (University of Phoenix)
I also have an IB Webinar Pass and frequently listen and learn from new and archived webinars, as well as IB conference talks on iTunes. As a member of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), I regularly attend webinars and online courses offered on topics such as formative assessment, managing differentiation, and creating high quality units.
