OLN Southeast Region Mid-Year Learning Institute
On Friday April 13, Shawnee State University hosted a day of sharing, learning, and growing as community.
The mid-year learning institute for the Southeast Regional PLCs featured presentations by each learning community. showcasing what they have done throughout the past year. Learning Community members took pride in their accomplishments, and learned of those by others in the region. The communities shared information about both successes and challenges during the past year.
During the day, there were also opportunities for PLCs to discuss Part II of the Portraits of Practice which each PLC is completing. Breakout sessions allowed each community to discuss how they will disseminate the outcomes of their community's work during the past year. |
