All 6th-grade teachers are invited to attend a short webinar on May 8th. If your school is new to the Open Up (Illustrative) Curriculum they should attend the 11:00 am webinar. If they have already been using the Open Up resources curriculum they should attend the 1:00 pm webinar. (Registration information attached.)
During the webinar, we will share information about the resources that have been ordered for your school and explain the professional development schedule for the upcoming year.
As a result of the soft closure, we have made some adjustments to the training schedule. The first is that the math grant will be used to pay for a limited number of registrations (at least one per school) to a high-quality summer online professional workshop offered through Open Up resources. This will be a great opportunity for JSD teachers to engage with curriculum developers and join a nation-wide professional learning community. The registration information is attached to this email and will be clarified during the May 1st webinar. Next, teachers not selected or unable to attend the summer training will be provided an alternate training experience. The training schedule will be reviewed during the webinar.
Thank you again for all you are doing to support the incredible efforts of our super-hero educators. They are amazing! I have loved hearing from so many of them as they have made the shift to online instruction. I am blown away by their creativity, their caring, and their genuine concern for their students.
