Count, Play, Explore Cadre Professional Learning- Year 2
Building upon the foundational learning established in the previous year, this continued professional learning series will engage returning cadre members in expanding their practice in designing and facilitating integrated Grade TK–3 STEAM learning experiences. Sessions will focus on the development of hands-on, developmentally appropriate instruction grounded in curiosity, inquiry, creativity, and real-world problem solving. Participants will deepen their understanding of effective STEAM integration through collaborative planning, reflection, and the sharing of implementation experiences to strengthen instructional practices and student engagement. The series will also continue to support the development of a STEAM growth mindset through immersive learning opportunities and ongoing professional collaboration.
This learning sequence will consist of two required in-person sessions and one required virtual touchpoint. In addition, we are excited to offer several optional virtual touchpoints throughout the year for your convenience. These optional sessions are designed to provide additional opportunities for collaboration, support, and resource sharing.
