TDA: Skills Lab (SYE 2021)

10/07/2020Check-in with BLaST Intermediate Unit 17 for our K-8 TDA Skills Lab. Every month we will share a specific skill that educators should practice with themselves and their students to develop an analytical mindset and build a culture of analysis. These skills are recyclable and should be used throughout the school year. While the skills remain the same, the instruction may look different from grade to grade. The skills lab will run asynchronously and virtually so that educators can dive in when ready. Content will drop each month and reflection exercises will be embedded throughout each skill section. There will be touchpoints along the way with Rebecca Gibboney and Erin Hamilton, who will help bridge these skills into practice. $40/participant We do not have dates completely set yet but registration will be open until March to be safe.
COST: $40
