Professional Learning Essentials

We will have a District-Wide Symposium as our Professional Learning on September 3, 2024.

The theme of our Symposium will be "Moving the Focus From Teaching to Learning" with sessions designed around the OPS Strategy Playbook.

To offer choice, we need the support of educators to develop and lead sessions.

• In order to assist with this process
• We will be offering time and support this summer focused on developing sessions for the Symposium
• Workshops will be held June 10- June 14 with AM and PM options available.
• You can earn College Credit or Professional Development Points!

You don't have to participate in the times this summer to present a session.
