This summer, Weston teachers will be attending 87 district-sponsored educator workshops, in virtually every discipline area. About one quarter of the workshops support the integration of a range of technology into the curriculum.
Teachers are learning to utilize tools such as GoogleDocs, wikis, workle, flickr and Noodlebib as they lesson plan. Other workshops focus on aligning curriculum, revising learning goals, developing new courses and supporting student health and wellness. In addition to in-district professional development, both students and teachers are participating in dozens of out-of-district courses and internships at universities, museums, and companies.
When school opens on September 1, classrooms will reverberate with the excitement of a new academic year, as well as with sharing of all that was learned over the summer.
