Because we couldn't host in-person PDs last year, we, like everyone else, mournfully made the switch to online. And we found out that folks liked it! So even though we're back to hosting in-person PDs (are you coming to the September 23 Educator's workshop in Butte?) we decided to continue to offer online options as well, the second Wednesday of every month from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. These sessions are interactive and attendees can earn one OPI renewal credit per session.
September 8: Introduction to MHS Resources
Participants will be given time to explore the MHS website and then will be asked to share resources they plan to use in their classrooms. Register here before September 7 to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.
October 13: Diving into the New Social Studies Standards
Join with other teachers to explore the new Social Studies content standards, focusing on the ones that are relevant to the grades you teach, and learn how the new social studies skills standards overlap, or complement, the standards for other academic disciplines. Register here before October 12 to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.
November 10: Hooks!
Back by popular demand! Last year’s session on Hooks was the overwhelming crowd favorite, so we thought we’d do it again. Bring your best strategies for engaging students to share and/or come to learn what has worked in your colleagues’ classrooms. Register here before November 9 to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.
December 8: Explore the Montana Memory Project
Join Montana Memory Project Director Jennifer Birnel for a tour of the new Montana Memory Project website, and learn how you can find primary sources to use in your classroom—from historical photographs and yearbooks to cattle brands and reminiscences. Then join in a discussion of best practices for introducing primary sources to students. Register here before December 7 to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.
