The secondary professional learning conference will be held on February 16, 2018 at Frederick County Middle School.

All first-year teachers will attend a professional development session related to explicit instruction (this is in lieu of attending the sessions after school as was the previous practice). If you are a new teacher, your schedule already reflects this session in your schedule. All 2nd and 3rd year teachers will attend a professional development session related to their needs. This session has been added to your schedule. Work Sessions have been added to the schedule to give participants a time to apply what they have learned from the sessions they have attended.
Your final schedule will be emailed to you on the morning of February 16, 2018. Registration will close on February 14, 2018.
Let’s be clear, transparency simplifies the process of learning. Explicit instruction is the vehicle by which to design and deliver an effective lesson from beginning to end. Designing and delivering an explicit lesson is easier than you think. Come to this session if you are interested in learning practical strategies you can incorporate right away!
