Classes might be done for Greenwood students, but for teachers, school is now in session. After a week of Professional Development training for all teachers from June 18-22, the Summer Institute begins.

From June 25-29, the Summer Institute is an opportunity for teachers to further refine and develop courses, focusing on student engagement. They study techniques for co-teaching in a Learning Community and strategies for enabling personalized and self-paced learning using blended learning tools. Teachers share best practices for developing curriculum that supports student’s ability to personalize their learning, and ways of integrating diverse curriculum.

This year, 21 Greenwood teachers will be participating. They will break into grade-specific groups to work on effective adviser methods for each age group. Geography, Math, and Health courses are also being refined. In health, there will be a special focus on well-being, supporting the work on mental health and well-being being done within the Greenwood community.

Our teachers are looking forward to engaging discussion sessions. They will bring what they learn to their teaching, improving programming for students.
