For a recent professional development training, YESS teachers selected from three options that were offered based on their responses to survey. Sandy, teacher at YESS’s Transition Classroom at Connection High and TILT member, facilitated a session on creating one’s own Nearpod (an online resource with a vast database of lessons correlated to core standards). Brenda, teacher and Site Facilitator at Decker Lake Youth Center and TILT member, facilitated a session on editing a current Nearpod lesson. The third session, using google Slides to create a Nearpod, was taught by Michael Hakkarinen, a Professional Development Instructor from UEN (Utah Education Network). The three groups were small allowing for time to delve deeper into Nearpod and explore more of the possibilities for implementation in their classrooms to enhance learning for our YESS students.
