A few years ago, Warrensburg-Latham schools hosted a professional development seminar and this summer, they are going to give it a try again.
Superintendent, Dr. Kristen Kendrick-Weikle says they received high marks for it their last time and it provides opportunities for networking with local educators.
Dr. Kendrick-Weikle says area educators have a lot of great information to share with their peers. She explains the concept, standards spaced grading, is a popular topic among educators lately that will be discussed.
Additionally, trauma-informed practices have been a buzz-word in the education world and Dr. Kendrick-Weikle says they have educators who will discuss this practice and how to work with students.
Analyzing data is becoming a bigger part of a teacher's job and Dr. Kendrick-Weikle says they will help educators understand the data they have and how to improve their teaching based on that information. She says there is a lot of things to learn at their professional development seminar at on August 6 and 7.
