Session Description

Our school‑wide Professional Development Course in Canvas functions as a centralized hub where teachers access yearly requirements, important dates, FAQs, and goal‑setting guidance. The course also houses recordings and resources from all major PD offerings—including Summer Lunch and Learn sessions, monthly QuickBites, the spring ENGAGE conference, and PLCs—giving teachers a clear menu of opportunities they may choose from while still meeting school policy requirements.
To foster community and highlight innovative practice, we added a monthly “Share Your Amazing” activity tied to QuickBite themes. Teachers showcase classroom strategies, and top submissions earn a feature in our Professional Learning Newsletter along with a coveted “Chosen One” badge.
