Metro Regional Professional
Development Council’s Book Study |
Educators
throughout the Denver metro schools have been deeply committed
to establishing and nurturing their learning community as
demonstrated by staff from multiple constituencies, at all
levels, collaboratively and continually working together. Such
collaborative work is grounded in reflective dialogue, in
which educators conduct conversations about students, teaching
and learning by identifying related issues and problems of
practice. The MRPDC’s Book Study project is a vehicle to
support and enrich those meaningful conversations. |
