Southeastern Indiana Back To School 2020
Educator Professional Development Modules

Introduction

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the abrupt end to in-person schooling last spring, and events on the national stage, back to school 2020 will be an unprecedented and challenging time for southeastern Indiana teachers, students, and families.

With this in mind, leaders from several school corporations in the region reached out to Genesis: Pathways to Success with the idea of developing some professional development modules that local teachers can utilize to feel a little more prepared for the challenges they will face this August.

Genesis: Pathways to Success collaborated with East Indiana Area Health Education Center and Dr. Beth Trammell of Make Words Matter to develop these modules.  

In total there are three professional development modules - each will involve about 20-30 minutes of engagement time.  Upon completion of the three modules there is a mechanism for you to receive a certificate of completion for professional growth point documentation.

Additionally, we will offer virtual Q&A events with professionals such as psychologists, social workers, and other experts from our region for educators who complete these modules to attend as a source of additional information and support once the 2020-2021 academic year gets underway.

We believe the three modules that follow are most effective when you work with a partner or group of coworkers who will dig deeper into the topics with you. We recommend you commit to having a partner or team that you text, call, or chat with as you explore these materials. Approximately 1.5 contact hours will be required to view all module videos and content.
