Washington State's nine ESDs (the Association of ESDs, or AESD) are continuing to create and provide timely, relevant professional development as we navigate teaching remotely.
We are excited to share and invite educators and district leaders to join a new statewide, peer-to-peer learning and collaboration opportunity through the
AESD’s statewide LMS Solutions: Regional Educator Networks. The goal of these Networks is to provide peer-to-peer mentorship and support among education practitioners, build capacity across the state, and provide access to a community of learners for all educators.
Participants will have an opportunity to engage in live and on-demand learning, collaborating, and networking with peers across the regions and the state.
Anyone working in education can engage in a Regional Network regardless, of level of technology skills, and participation does not require school district approval. Synchronous meeting times are 4:00pm - 6:00pm. This network will prepare educators as leaders in their school and district to integrate educational technology and
provide up to 24 clock hours (including up to 15 STEM clock hours) depending on learning pathways selected.
The first in-person convening will take place on February 10th with subsequent events in March and May.
Between now and then we need to gauge educator interest in joining the Regional Networks. Please click on the link below to learn more and indicate your interest in participating. Those who sign up will receive more information and details about the Regional Network kick-on in February.
