Individual Educator Strand

Transition your teaching strategies to engage all students in a distance learning model. The Washington Association of Educational Service Districts (AESD) is proud to partner with international education consultant Jeff Utecht to offer educators 10 virtual sessions, beginning April 20^th through June 12^th.

We strongly believe in supporting educators throughout these uncertain times, as well as into the next school year. These trainings will support teachers as they work to meet OSPI’s recent directive to “Build on each student’s strengths, interests and needs and use this knowledge to positively impact learning.”

The 10 virtual meeting sessions will focus on a phased-in approach to distance learning:

• Phase 1: Setting Up Your System
• Phase 2: Preparing for Learning
• Phase 3: New Learning Begins

Each session will consist of a one-hour presentation via Zoom, time for educators to ask questions for support, and actionable steps that educators can take to continue to build their distance learning system. Each action step aligns with OSPI’s priorities for administrators: Compassion, Communication and Common Sense

Cost:  

Register for 4 sessions at $125/person, or 10 sessions at $250/person.

Educators will be supported in cohorts of 50 participants. Educators are asked to self-identify when they register, based on the following criteria & can register by clicking on the appropriate blue criteria buttons: 

Zoom session times will be emailed to participants after registration is complete.
