With the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers all over the country have had to teach virtually, and it looks like this might continue. To that end, Northern Buckeye has revamped some of our professional development offerings to help educators learn about technology, even when we can’t be there together.

We wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of our virtual services. Remember, all of our professional learning is available at no additional cost for our member districts. Not sure if your district is a member? Check this list.

 

Virtual PD Days

In response to COVID-19 pandemic, Northern Buckeye PD has been holding Virtual Professional Development days for our member districts which are developed in consultation with district leadership. Many districts have chosen to have a variety of sessions offered during their scheduled days. We have done several multi-day PDs including some half-day opportunities.

We have a range of sessions that can be offered with a live presenter that run typically for 20 minutes. The remaining 10 minutes of a half hour block is devoted to answering questions. Participants can choose from 3 different tracks and sessions are scheduled in half hour blocks. read more
