Here are three notes from the Teaching and Learning Department:

Eastern Oregon is offering a science of reading course. It is advertised as a ‘lighter’ version of the LETRS training. Read here to learn more about this opportunity. If you are interested in signing up please fill out this survey by the end of the school day on Tuesday, January 16th. There are limited seats. Please reach out to Lindsley Gehrig with any questions. The cost of this training will be covered by Bend La Pine.

The February 28th Educator Network Day is about sharing our practice with other educators- a powerful form of professional learning. If you have a topic and ideas to share, please sign up to be a facilitator. You will be paid 4 hours at curriculum rate for your planning and preparation. More information and sign up here.
