Professional Learning

The Virtual New Teacher Summit is a synchronous learning opportunity in which participants choose what topics they want to learn more about. The Summit will take place from 5:00 - 8:00 pm and will consist of three different sessions. In each session, participants will be able to choose from a variety of topics, such as student engagement, classroom management and instructional design. Each breakout will be 50 minutes long with a 10-minute break in between sessions. Presentations will be recorded and those who attend the event will have access to the recordings of all sessions.

It is a stressful time in education. To carry out the work we want to accomplish in the classroom we must first understand the impact of stress on the brain and our students' basic needs. Using the principles of the Neurosequential Model and traumatology helps us to better address factors such as disruptive behavior, low motivation and other behaviors that teachers are currently seeing in their classrooms. First, we must learn how to reach our students, then we can teach our students.
