Opportunities for Coaches

 * Keystone STARS ** - a week-long professional development "boot camp," expenses paid. Building principals need to nominate a person to be the Keystone STAR. Then, those folks are selected regionally by IU to attend the Keystone Summit. Read the attachment and urge your principal to nominate YOU.


 * TeacherQuest by the Institute of Play ** - it could be a busy summer! The Institute of Play folks will return to AIU to conduct a week-long (year-long with a companion learning community) professional development session that is unlike most you have experienced. They are looking for ONLY 16 educators (8 pairs). The pairing idea is so that you have a built-in support system in your partner teacher. **Specifically mentioned "instructional coaches" as a desired participant.**.


 * Tablets in Education ** - a program from the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation supplying a school in every district with a cart of 20 Kindle Fire tablets loaded with apps and ebooks. Read more here:
