About the 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 focus for the 2024-2025 school year is "Digital Teaching & Learning and the Portrait of a Graduate" Each month, we focus on a different characteristic looking at how to help students to explore new ideas, solve complex problems, collaborate effectively, and reflect on their experiences, thereby preparing them for the real world.
Latest Episode: S3 E4: "Engaged Citizens with William Shields"
