Respond to the following prompt. Describe the highlight of your week at the KFP Summer Institute. • How do you plan to implement something you learned at the institute in your classroom? • How has the week compared with other PD opportunities you have attended?
The highlight of my week was the scavenger hunt. I love to move. Sitting down all day receiving information does serve a purpose, but when provided with the opportunity to get up and move and still learn equates to awesome for me!! At the end of last school year, I wanted to have my students do an infographic for an assignment. I looked for things to use and could not find anything useful. To my surprise what did I get a chance to learn how to do, an infographic! One of the things I will do this coming up school year is an infographic. This weeks PD, opportunities compared to others I have been to was amazing. They honestly cannot compare. Most PD’s that I have had to attend don’t really pertain to me to make me the best teacher that I can be professionally. They mostly involve me receiving information for someone from DPI, telling me what I have to do to help out some other areas (Math/ELA). This is important but it makes you feel like what you teach isn’t.
