This year's Teacher Orientation Week will include sessions focused on high-leverage instructional strategies, ongoing curriculum initiatives, technology support, conditions for an optimal learning environment, and more. We will also have sessions geared towards welcoming and orienting our newest faculty.

Below is an in-progress list of sessions--more will be added. Supporting instructional practices and curriculum endeavors that lead to equitable outcomes are at the foundation of these PD sessions. We hope also to add sessions focused on equitable grading practices and culturally-responsive trauma-informed practices. We will send an updated flyer and a reminder later in the summer. You can sign up now for the sessions below.

If you do not see some of the sessions below listed in KickUp yet, they will be shortly. Please check back soon.
