In keeping with the EARCOS Strategic Plan C to "Develop collaborative educational partnerships within the region as well as worldwide to foster greater access to expertise," we offer the following PD opportunities not sponsored by EARCOS.
Summer is cooler in the mountains: that includes both the temperature as well as the vibe. Come join us July 14 and 15 for the summer Paideia Institutes that most closely answers your need to know more about the fundamentals of seminar dialogue or leading the Paideia Program in your school.
The Introduction to the Paideia Seminar is designed for those new to Paideia as a philosophy and instructional practice. The focus is on how to bring true seminar dialogue to an individual classroom or an entire school—with the ultimate goal of teaching critical and creative thinking across the curriculum.
Leading Paideia Implementation is for individuals or (better yet) teams of educators from a school community dedicated to leading the school-wide implementation of the Paideia Program. It sets the stage for the coming school year by helping educators craft a plan tailored to their specific needs.
We welcome you on July 14-15 when the mountains will provide relief from the summer heat, and we learn how to grow and teach in true community!
