Their goal is to provide more personalized learning and better work/life balance with more flexible, virtual learning options.

The Wayne team takes you step by step through the timeline of their evolution from past practices that were not effective or aligned with district goals to the steps they’ve taken to improve their practice. They show creative ways they use tools for personalized, collaborative PD including edWeb.net, Google, Swivl, Zoom, and more. They also put a special emphasis on providing wellness resources for the whole staff. During this session, you learn:

• Why Wayne Township Public Schools decided to reinvent their professional learning program
• The steps Wayne Township Public Schools’ leaders took to implement and introduce the innovations
• How you can implement a robust support system for your entire staff with edWeb’s virtual professional learning resources

The Wayne team uses edWeb.net to create private communities for collaboration districtwide and also for special needs and interests. The team uses edWeb CE certificates and reporting to provide incentives for earning PD hours virtually on staff members’ own time and also for earning credit towards salary advancement. You get many ideas you can put into practice in your school or district. The edWeb team also provides information on the coaching and training services they can provide so you can set up your own district or school program on edWeb.

This program is part of the edWeb PD in Action series that highlights how education leaders are redesigning professional learning to support staff growth, culture, wellness, and retention, and improve student outcomes.
