B8 Strengthening State and Regional Networks Through Advanced Institutes

In this interactive session, two writing project sites show how they build, support, and sustain site capacity through state and regional networks. One site used existing programs within the state network to allow technology liaisons and technology team members to collaborate and form a working group within the network that supports individual TLs’ work at their sites. The other site produced a mostly online, asynchronous technology institute for teacher-consultants and subsequently offered a similar institute through the state network. Participants will be invited to brainstorm the possibilities, goals, and realities of these efforts for their own local contexts.

 

When: Friday, 3:30pm - 5:30pm
Where: Marriott Marquis Times Square Hotel, 5th floor, Carnegie
