As your teams head back to school this fall, our goal is to provide our members with resources to make that transition easier and more efficient in preparation for the busy, challenging — and, hopefully, productive year ahead.
As part of that effort, we wanted to remind you of our partnership with RocketPD (www.rocketpd.com). We’ve received a lot of inquiries from folks looking for resources on hot-button topics with tie-ins to their strategic plans (e.g. professional development and teacher-led training, family engagement, teacher evaluation, blended learning, artificial intelligence, staff engagement and adult well-being, Thinking Classrooms, leadership, school culture, reading instruction, or critical back-to-school communications) to name just a few.
RocketPD offers our members priority access to a variety of expert-led resources on these and other topics, courtesy of names our members are familiar with, including Kim Marshall, Peter Liljedahl, George Couros, Jennifer Gonzalez, A.J. Juliani, Dr. Catlin Tucker, Dr. Steve Constantino, Dr. Michael Hinojosa and others.
Tools include:
-A free podcast series with expert interviews confronting challenging topics
-A downloadable app feat. short video-based courses (think Master-Class for K-12 educators)
-Priority access to a series of just-in-time live-virtual events led by leading experts & authors
-A free guide & monthly newsletter rounding up helpful news, resources & information
These resources are intended to support work you likely are already doing.
For example: We really like this new course (just released this month) from Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Author A.J. Juliani on How to Use Artificial Intelligence. Peter Liljedahl’s cohort on Building Thinking Classrooms is a big hit and filling up fast! And George Couros’ five-sesson event on staff engagement and professional learning was created specifically for ESC teams, so be sure to check that out.
