Monday, January 16th has been a great day of professional learning for the YPS staff. We had two keynote speakers and over 40 break-out sessions. Not only did this day benefit YPS staff but we also invited and had attendees from York College, St. Joe's Catholic School, Emmanuel Lutheran School, and several other neighboring school districts.
Dr. Clayton Cook, from the University of Washington, began the day for us discussing "Response to Intervention" and how to help meet the individualized needs of our students. Dr. Roger Breed, Nebraska Commissioner of Education and former YMS principal, concluded the day with a pep talk about the importance of educators.
In between we had wonderful breakout sessions on technology, special education, reading, math, vocabulary, student engagement, behavior, academic games, higher order thinking skills, and much more.
Thanks to Cornerstone Bank for the sandwich bar at lunch!
It was a great day. Beth Ericson deserves a lot of credit for organizing it. Way to go Dukes!
