I am always amazed at how fast the school year flies by and I am not even int he classroom. With only two and half weeks left before my favorite holiday, I thought I would share out a couple of tips, tricks, and updates from the DSD Professional Development Team

The DSD Professional Development Team has branded the idea of Balanced Learning within the classroom setting. What is Balanced Learning?

Balanced Learning came from a conversation with Mike Lynch from Mentor High School. The two of us were having a conversation about how everyone is trying to move to Personalized Learning. Mike stopped me mid conversation and said, "Why don't you go with Balanced Learning instead of Personalized Learning?" Of course I became intrigued and wanted to learn more about how Mentor School District is using the idea of Balanced Learning. Here is what I came away with from our conversation:

Balanced Learning Means to....

Design an educational system that balances out the classroom

Explore programs work best for the students. Meaning, STEM, Blended, Personalized, Project Based....

Explore programs work best for the teachers?

Develop a balanced the learning approach that fits with the whole student.

Creating a professional development rich environment that will all learning to learn at his/her own pace

The Balanced Learning concept came to life for the DSD Professional Development team a couple of days later. As a team, we generated a logo and a philosophy that pig backs off of the Mentor School District idea for balanced education.

"Balanced Learning is the ability to allow educators and students to move through the academic process to implement content into their learning path that balances out their learning goals." DSD Professional Development Team

November is a very exciting time for the DSD Professional Development Team. We just hosted a two day workshop in San Diego and participated in the iNACOL international conference. Our next few weeks are full of adventure and learning opportunities. We would love for you to join us at any of the following events.

Haynes Bridge Middle School - two day coaching and training on Personalized Learning

Pickerington City Schools - Administrator training on the key aspects of blended learning

Onsite coaching days with - Fairbanks, Pickerington, Leawood, North Union, Southwest Licking, Mentor, Akron STEM, and Santa Monica

Great Prairie Blended Learning Training Day

Chicago Blended and Personalized Learning Conference - November 17th and 18th

NAMTAC Keynote Speaker - November 26th

I am always passing along free technology tools that work in the classroom. Below are my post popular tools that we currently are using. Feel free to follow my edshelf.com page to stay up to date with the tastes Balanced Learning Tech Tools

On September 8th, 2016, the DSD Professional Development team presented in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to 112 amazing educators from the Grant Wood Area Education Agency. The group was composed of 21 Administrators, 31 Coaches, and 60 Teachers

The Kickoff Workshop to Blended Learning for the 2016-17 school started at exactly 8:30 am and ended at 3:30 pm. Our day was consisted of the Top 10 List for Blended Learning, Exploration of Phase 1 in Eight 10 minute rotations, planning for Phase 1, Lunch, Blended learning Phase 2 Keynote, and planning for Phase 2.

As part of the Kick of to Blended learning Workshop, we showcased technology tools that would promote high levels of student engagement, adaptive learning, quality data, and classroom management applications. Below are just a few of our top Blended Tools that we use on a daily bases in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Blended learning environments.

A great way to promote choice and voice within the blended learning classroom is to allow the students to roll the App Dice. The App Dice consist of:

To continue the amazing work that we accomplished in one day, the coaches and the Blended learning Links will continue to meet with Marcia Kish once a month. The once a month meetings will be virtual meetings that will be recorded for all of the coaches to watch and learn from throughout the year.

In January, the administrators, coaches, and teachers will meet again at Grant Wood Area Education Agency to continue to build upon Phase 1 and Phase 2. Our goal will be to introduce the Phase 3 concept, Project Based Learning, and Growth Mindset.

The DSD Professional Development Team, is proud to announce the Jena Cooper will join our team officially on September 6th, 2016. Jena has been working as a Blended learning Coach for META for the last couple of years and is excited to share that experience and love for coaching with the DSD Professional Development schools.

Jena Cooper began her career as a Music Educator in Columbus City Schools and the Olentangy School District. She has her undergraduate degree from Ashland University in Music Education and has completed her masters classes in Music Education and Kodaly Certification at Capital University.

Jena then entered the business world, working as marketing consultant, website designer and attained her Google Sempo Certification. In her spare time, she helped her husband to develop his Music Technology curriculum, and assisted other teachers in his school with learning and implementing educational technology programs.

Finding her way back to education full time, Jena became an instructional coach and professional development specialist at META solutions. There she helped to develop a week long program that hosted Superintendents and Principals and allowed them to develop a school vision for implementing Personalized Learning in their districts. She coached with five different districts in grades ranging from Kindergarten through 12th grade, on implementing Blended Learning, Personalized Learning and Project Based Learning Units. She also created customized professional development activities for districts on many subjects, including Blended Learning, Personalized Learning, Google Apps for Education, Formative Assessment Tools, Creating Data Notebooks, PBL, and more. Jena is a certified as a Lego Educator Trainer, PMI (Project Management Institute), VEX IQ Robotics, and has worked with over 80 Educational Technology programs.
