BPS101 hosts first virtual summit

Batavia Public Schools hosted its first-ever Virtual Summit on Aug. 3–4! It was a resounding success with some sessions having over 100 staff in attendance. There were a total of 639 registrations representing educators from EC–12 in various roles to participate in eight different offerings. The topics included building social-emotional learning in the classroom, making videos, creating student engagement, giving alternative assessments, understanding Seesaw and Google Classroom, giving and receiving feedback, and digital workflows.

Each of these sessions was led by an instructional coach and the SEL sessions included social workers

facilitating as well. In order to support the teachers who would not be able to attend, all sessions were recorded so they are available year-round to support instruction in person and remotely. After attending multiple sessions Amanda Hussey, a Rotolo Middle school teacher said, “The presenters did a great job targeting the questions teachers have right now, including relevant tools, making resources accessible, and giving information on the necessities while letting us explore the rest independently. I feel like there were a lot of positive takeaways I can apply to my thinking and instruction right away “
