About the Jordan Journey Podcast
As the digital teaching & learning team, we believe that professional development needs to fit the needs of our teachers and can happen in any place or at any time. This podcast is a way to connect with teachers on-the-go in Jordan District by featuring outstanding voices from around the district.
If you'd like to be on the podcast, or know of someone who should be featured, or if you would like to suggest a topic, please fill out this form or contact Kiera (kiera.beddes@jordandistrict.org).
Our professional development for the 2023-2024 school year is "Level Up with the ISTE Standards for Students." Each month, we focus on a different standard looking at how to empower our students to be creative, collaborative, critical thinkers and communicators.
Latest Episode: S2 E9: "Creative Communicators with JSD Big 6 at UCET"
