Professional Development Follow Up

This week's blog has some follow up information related to our professional learning opportunity last Monday.

All resources have now been posted on the SEP Professional Development site. You may find the presentation (which includes the OER video), OER examples, and a proposal for Southeast Polk University. We appreciated everyone's engagement and collaboration on Monday.  Please let us know how we can provide support and follow up for your learning.





Below are some ideas for implementing Open Education Resources into a series of lessons that both build content knowledge and develop literacy skills. This lesson idea comes from Newsela Pro.
