Strand Description, Facilitators, and Example Intended Outcomes LINK HERE
Developed by Learning Coaches and the Teaching and Learning Leadership, the purpose of the Professional Development Strands is to create personalized and relevant professional learning during dedicated time. The Strands were created as a partnership with AISC Leadership and teaching faculty to have time for deep understanding of an educational topic with a consistent group of colleagues.
