= DAY THREE  =

The landscape of education is changing and teachers are being asked to do more with less, or so they think. Your students have been and will continue to be your best helpers when it comes to planning, teaching and assessing learning, and they are ready and willing to help you make your classroom more collaborative, engaging and efficient! Learn how you can use digital media, technology, your state standards and the authentic task to engage your students and move them from the best seat in the house to the director's chair.
