Online Professional Development Courses Coming Soon

Are you looking for technology integration professional development but are unable to attend after school trainings due to other commitments?

The Office of Personalized Learning will be rolling out  online professional development courses soon.  These courses will be listed in PDExpress when available and can be accessed through our Moodle server at eLearn.spps.org.  Interested participants will register in PDExpress and use the enrollment key listed there to enroll in the Moodle course on eLearn.spps.org.

Online professional development can be worked on anytime, anywhere - whenever is convenient for the individual participants, whether that is at 4:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., or 12:00 a.m. during the week or on the weekend. Whenever is most convenient for the participant.

After completing an assignment in the course, participants will receive clock hour credits in PDExpress just like they do for attending trainings after school or during the school day.

If online professional development sounds interesting to you, check in PDExpress under Personalized Learning for new courses coming soon!

We would love to strike up a conversation with you about how personalized learning can engage and empower Saint Paul students by allowing them more voice and choice in how they demonstrate their learning with technology-enhanced personalized instruction.

Come see some of the digital learning tools being used in SPPS schools, such as, iPads, laptops, Chromebooks, Nooks, and the new Learning Platform and hear more about how these tools can be used to support instruction.  We can also give you a demonstration of digital resources like Achieve3000, MackinVia, TumbleBooks, and Discovery Streaming that are currently being used with students in our schools.

Join us January 11 at the RiverCentre between 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM.
