Registration for the Project IMPACT Summer PD is currently closed, but we will be offering more PD in the fall.
We are fully integrating professional development experiences for professional year students and induction for early-career professionals into the core curriculum taught at BGSU through an infusion approach.
We do this using a three-pronged intervention, which consists of
- professional development before and during the year-long professional year for teacher candidates
- intensive, site-based clinical practice with on-site coursework
- a support system for new teachers hired into partner schools.
Professional development incorporates advanced technologies such as micro-credentialing using digital badges, and virtual reality teaching simulations to give teacher candidates the opportunity to apply new skills immediately with formative feedback.
