Hive Youth Meetups (Young Innovators Squad)

PD Goals

Support CRC coordinators learn new facilitation techniques

Share strategies to co-facilitate with youth and recruit for programs

Japanese Lesson Study

Lessons Learned

Lesson Study/observation is a great alternative to traditional PD/training CRC coordinators had the opportunity to take note of what youth

found engaging and reflect on their own program design/facilitation style

CRC coordinators were able to evaluate and adopt techniques they found effective

Debriefing and discussing challenges with educators who have run the same workshop before was a valuable use of time for the CRC coordinators

iDesign

PD Goals

Support teachers learn Scratch, culturally-relevant pedagogy, computational thinking

Support teachers remix lesson plans, incorporating their own teaching style and classroom

Support teachers deliver their lesson plans to students and provide feedback

Provide teachers with strategies for recruitment and retention

Lessons Learned

Modeling is an effective strategy for PD: I DO/WE DO/YOU DO

Remixing and delivering the lesson plan to students enhanced skills and confidence

Building teacher/educator confidence around learning new technologies is a critical part of any PD

Points of Discussion

How do you provide ongoing support for teachers/informal educators who participate in your PD?

How do you document the remixing/adaptation of your curriculum by teachers/informal educators?

What facilitation techniques do you use to support teachers/informal educators build the confidence to learn a new technology?
