82 CTE Academy: Oconee County's Specialized CTE Professional Development Plan
Monday June 24, 2024 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Oconee County's CTE Academy is a professional development experience designed for CTE teachers, led by CTE teachers. CTE Academy Coaches were selected to lead five different professional development sessions and teachers were offered choice and input into what topics they would like to attend. Following the initial sessions, teachers chose one of their sessions for a "deep dive." In the deep dive sessions, teachers applied the new information to their curriculum including lesson plans and assessments to create better learning experiences for students. While this PD model can be tailored for any PD topic, Oconee County's CTE Academy PD program focuses on the following five topics: Assessment 101, Creativity and Student Choice, Cultivating a Positive Classroom Culture, Differentiation and a Blended Learning Classroom, and Employability Skills in Everyday Instruction.
