At Union High School we believe in keeping our teachers well-fed professionally because great teachers help create great students.
In fact, research shows that an inspiring and informed teacher is the most important school-related factor influencing learner achievement, so it is critical to pay close attention to how we train and support both new and experienced educators.
We are, therefore, very excited to announce that ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ก๐™ก ๐™—๐™š ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ช๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™†๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™š๐™ง ๐™€๐™™๐™ช๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฎ๐™š๐™–๐™ง.
Initiated in January 2021, Unionโ€™s ongoing professional development through Keller Education keeps our teachers up-to-date on new research on how children learn, emerging technology tools for the classroom and more.
As the best professional development is ongoing, experiential, collaborative, and connected to and derived from working with learners and understanding their culture, we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to provide our teachers with this training and look forward to partnering with Keller Education again in 2022!
