DVISD Professional Learning

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming new teachers to New Teacher Academy, as they were immersed in strategies for classroom management and lesson planning. It was inspiring connecting with these educators as they gained tools to kickstart their teaching journey. #DVProud

What's the best way to start out new year Professional Development with teachers? Focusing in on student learning and reflecting on where we want to go!!!

That’s a wrap for this year’s #DVU. Feedback from teachers shared is positive with requests for even deeper trainings on integration, restorative practices, rbis , & student engagement. What a great week!

Even our physical education teachers honed their skills and learned new games to take back to the classroom, rather their gyms #DVProud

There’s no better way to kick off my first “official” day in @DelValleISD than addressing our amazing ISD staff all together in one space— 1,800+ strong. The pure joy in the 1st photo says it all—I’m energized & excited for what’s ahead as we shape the future together! #DVISDProud
