The Elementary Literacy team is cooking up something amazing in 2nd grade!
They are thrilled to announce a new professional development series for the upcoming school year, specifically designed for 2nd-grade teachers!
These courses will help them to meet the quarterly literacy goals and will be centered around the theme of the mentor text, The Best Chef in Second Grade by Katharine Kenah. Participating teachers will get a copy of this book and many other practical tools and supplies to use immediately in their classroom.
Help refine the recipes for student success and connect with other 2nd-grade chefs. Here is a preview of the four "tasty courses" being offered next year:
Quarter 1: Accuracy in Every Bite- Aug. 6 or Sept. 11
Quarter 2: A La Carte Learning- Flexible dates in October-November for a micro PD your team chooses from a menu of offerings.
Quarter 3: Chef’s Special- Jan. 22 or Jan. 29
Quarter 4: The Secret Sauce- March 5
Sign up now for our first session at pd.jordandistrict.org. The team looks forward to cooking up a fantastic year of learning with you!
