2018 Conference Season

It is hard to believe that schools are officially half way through the school year.  With standardized test on the horizon and preparing for the last half of the school, one of the best ways to get rejuvenated is attending a great educational conference.  State, national, and world conferences provide a variety of new technology tools that will promote future ready environments, blended learning tips and tricks for the classroom, personalized learning strategies that will showcase how to allow for student ownership,  voice, and choice. They also provide a time to network.  Developing a personal learning network is just another way to one to generate ideas and goals for the classroom. 
This year, the DSD Professional Development team plans to attend an assortment of educational conferences.  At each conference we will be presenting on blended learning, personalized learning, future ready skills, and/or how to develop a balanced classroom.  Below is a list a of our sessions at each conference.  Please feel free to join us.  If you would like to meet up, feel free to send us a message.  We would love to get together and share out more tips and tricks.
