Elementary Principals:

It is time to determine which reading software program (if any) you would like to use for the 2016 – 2017 school year.  We would like to have as many licenses as possible paid from State grant funds.  I will submit applications to USOE for each individual school and they will accept them on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted. Please send an email with the information listed on the attached document to becky.gerber@jordandistrict.org as soon as possible.

All Principals (K-12):

Please share the flyer, Workshops Presentations for Teachers and Students with all of your teachers.   This is put on by SHIFT, a program of the Utah Film Center that offers educators high-quality professional development on the filmmaking process (digital storytelling) and how to integrate it into the core areas.
Workshops and instructional materials provide comprehensive, standards-linked lesson plans to guide educators on how to produce documentaries, public service announcements (PSAs), instructional videos, personal narratives, and other short film projects with their students.  There is a strong emphasis on writing.
*There is a FREE 2-day workshop on Filmmaking in the Classroom on Feb. 19 & 20 at Thanksgiving Point.  You may find registration information in the attached flyer.
