The Kentucky Department of Education is offering a new professional learning opportunity: “A Roadmap to Integrating SEAD within the KAS for Mathematics – A Workshop for Teachers.” Participating teachers will receive a stipend for their participation and for evidence of authentic artifacts aligned to the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics and integration of social and emotional learning.

The goal of the workshop is to gain experience with resources focused on grounding instruction in the KAS for Mathematics. Resources to be covered include:

The workshop will consist of an introduction meeting in the summer and four sessions throughout the school year, showcasing their learning of the KAS for Mathematics and social-emotional and academic development (SEAD) through the use of authentic artifacts, interactive activities and other strategies, including the utilization of the Roadmap tool. The workshop will provide built-in time for teachers to intentionally think about, receive input on and make changes to their instructional practice by engaging in reflection and taking actionable next steps. 

There are a limited number of spots available for the workshop. Teachers interested in this opportunity should apply using this Google form no later than May 14.
