Online Professional Development

 We're offering PDs on the second Monday of each month, September-March, from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Our October 9 PD is "Introduction to National History Day in Montana." National History Day is a grade 6-12 social studies and literacy program that teaches Common Core and social studies skills while teaching students to think like historians. Attend to learn why you should bring National History Day to your school, the curricular resources available, and about National History Day’s contest model, including the upcoming competitions in Montana. Registration is required. I'll send out the link by Friday, October 6.

Most of our PDs are NOT recorded, so you have to attend in person. If you missed our September PD, Introduction to Montana Historical Society Resources, I have devised a Web Quest that you can complete to get the information we covered. Complete the Web Quest by exploring our Educator Resources web page, then email me that you did so to earn one OPI Renewal Unit.

Want more about National History Day? NHD in Montana is offering PDs on the first Tuesdays of every month to walk teachers through how to implement the program in their classrooms. Each PD earns you one OPI Renewal Unit.

Our friends over at OPI are also offering online professional development: Indian Education for All Tuesdays, the first Tuesday of every month, September - June, from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., where they'll be sharing games, lessons, and more. Attendees will earn one professional development unit, and no advance registration is required.  

Happy learning.
