Part 2 of a 3-Part Series — Connecting the Dots with Professional Learning

In the second installment of our three-part learning series on connecting the dots with professional learning, we are thrilled to welcome Brian Engle, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Innovation at Glenview School District 34, and Troy Kerr, Vice President with FGMA.

Building on the conversation started with Dr. Callahan, this session will delve deeper into the transformation of the educational landscape and the empowerment of teachers to thrive in new and dynamic learning environments. Brian along with Troy will share the success story from the district, highlighting the critical importance of providing continuous support and guidance throughout the entire transformation process—from the initial planning stages to post-occupancy.

This thoughtful and comprehensive approach ensures that educators are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to embrace changes in educational spaces and the effective implementation of technology.

Join us to gain valuable insights and actionable strategies for navigating the evolving educational landscape with confidence and success.
