Teachers spent this morning leveling up their instructional toolkits in a hands-on Professional Development session focused on Active Learning Strategies, facilitated by Daniel Biegun with the ODUTraining & Technical Assistance Center! 💡📚

From interactive group work to dynamic checks for understanding, our educators stepped into the student shoes to practice strategies that keep classroom energy high and engagement deep.

We can't wait to see these active learning techniques brought to life in the classroom! 🚀✨
