Upcoming Internal PD
Open Classroom Week!
November 4-8: Open Classroom Week (OCW).As someone recently so wisely described OCW "it's the best, freest, PD that you can get." We are looking forward to an OCW gathering in the Lyon's Den on Thursday evening November 7 after dinner. Please sign up here.
The Alvord and Kravis Centers are excited to co-sponsor a two-part PD opportunity for faculty. Faculty who participate will attend the Friday, November 22 CT Forum on Climate Crisis in Hartford, during which panelists will engage in "a call-to-action conversation about climate change". Faculty will then engage in a morning PD discussion on Thursday, December 5 about how to leverage lessons from the Forum in our classrooms and around the Island. We have 10 spots available to attend this exciting and important CT Forum event. To secure your spot, please email Meg Stoecklin by noon on October 22.
