Welcome

Yes, it's true...another school year has commenced. This fact may find some of you still wallowing, longing for your summer freedom while others are running full-force ahead into the great unknown of a new group of students. No matter where you're at on the spectrum, we can't deny it...school has started. And that means it's time to gather resources. And that's where I can (with your help!) step in.

Throughout the year we are bombarded with emails, brochures, etc. advertising the latest and greatest in the world of education. As a new-ish teacher who doesn't quite have her feet planted firmly yet, I eat up any resource I can get, but the problem is: keeping track of all these! I have brochures falling out of my car, a clogged email inbox full of resources from other teachers, and millions of sticky notes and memos shoved in the most random of places. So, in order to make it easy to share resources, I've created this blog---the OPSD Professional Learning Network. I want it to be a space where we can share ideas for how to provide the best K-12 education possible.

From time to time I will be posting entries that deal with professional development opportunities, available grant funds, technology resources, professional reading material, educational policy updates, etc. I'll keep these organized through a series of tags and labels so it's easy for you to navigate. If you want to receive notifications of blog updates, then type in your email in the top right. And, most importantly, if you have something you want featured on the blog---shoot me an email through the school's webmail and I'll do my best to post it in a timely fashion.
