Learning Labs: Fall Update
Hey hey hey, PD people!
You’ve kicked off the school year…was that only eight-or-so weeks ago? It feels like another lifetime. Now, you’re deep in the weeds. We know that sometimes, PD slips off your plates because, as one principal put it, “School happens.”
We’ve got good news for you! We’ve added new sessions to our PD collection: follow up workshops for some of our most beloved series, and the intro to a new one. These new updates can deepen the learning you’ve already started and inject something fresh as the year unfolds. They will help you take care of school…and still, plan awesome PD.
Activating Academic Engagement series
The second session in this series, this new workshop dives deeper into the differences between engagement and academic engagement (hint: we want to support the latter!). These differences are key to deeper learning. In this session, dive into the nuances of the Learning Continuum to spark deeper learning with students. This session is perfect for:
- Veteran teachers
- Supporting standards alignment

Cultural Influences on Learning series
Cultures differ in more ways than spoken language. Our ideas of respect can be quite different too! Understanding different ways of showing respect can help us foster a culture of respect and learning with all students and especially with our English learners. This session is perfect for:
- Schools with a diverse population of students and staff
- Teachers of English Learners
- Building respect with all students

Scaffolding for Language Learners
Scaffolding can help students reach new heights in learning…but before we can scaffold, we must learn what to scaffold. In this session, explore different opportunities to scaffold language to help all students, especially English learners. This session is perfect for:

- Teachers of ALL subjects
- New teachers
