“We now accept that Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.” – Peter Drucker
Butte County Office of Education’s Professional Learning Department invites educators to join us as you continue the lifelong process of learning and innovating in your professional role as a teacher and educator.
The Professional Learning Department of Butte County Office of Education has expanded its professional relationship with University of Pacific to provide classroom educators with the new opportunities to grow in their craft in a meaningful, yet flexible way. These new Teacher Friendly courses engage participants in a Book Study Experience, in which they will be collaborating with fellow educators as they investigate the leading educational authors and apply their ideas in the classroom. Current sessions will start in late Fall and are curated with either the New Teacher Experience, or the Mentor/Teacher Leader in mind.
- New Teacher Experience Book Study: “Your First Year”- Whitaker
- Mentor/Teacher Leader: “The Art of Coaching”- Aguilar
These Book Study Courses are centered around a professional text, and are supplemented with several other resources to provide an in depth learning experience that challenges the participant to consider their role and goals as an educator meeting the unique needs of students in the Post COVID-19 Classroom. Through asynchronous learning, digital discussions, and 3 live zoom sessions, participants will consider their impacts on student learning and engagement in the classroom and school settings. Participants will engage in critical analysis of the author’s ideas, and determine how they impact the role of a classroom teacher while collaborating and engaging with professionals remotely.
These 3 unit semester long courses are designed to support educators as they challenge themselves to build classrooms and schools that meet the needs of their current student populations. This individualized and flexible approach to professional learning is ideal for a current classroom teacher interested in coursework constructed around the teacher schedule, and with resources and support curated specifically for the Post COVID-19 school environment with a collaborative professional learning community to engage in rich discussion with.
We hope you will continue learning and developing with us through these professional learning courses!
