Back-to-School Symposium

Beginning with a convocation Monday morning, Aug. 19 ( 9 a.m. at Brosig Auditorium), the district will hold a three-day, district-wide professional development symposium, "Creating the Classrooms We Need," at Navasota High School. Teachers, administrators, and outside presenters will hold 45-minute, conference-style sessions for teaching faculty, staff, and parents (session schedule). Participants will be able to choose from 10-12 topics during each presentation hour beginning Monday afternoon through Wednesday, Aug. 21. In the spirit of the belief that engagement is the key to learning, this event is designed to provide choice, novelty, and interactivity in contrast to the traditional in-service setting. Presentations are based on a variety of topics including district vision and direction, innovative instructional design initiatives, presenter experiences in the classroom and in their own professional learning, district software and management applications, and more. The symposium will begin with a district-wide convocation Monday morning (Aug. 19) at 9 a.m. at Brosig Auditorium.
