Digital Tools for Administrators: Flipping the Staff Meeting

Purpose of the Professional Study

One of the many tasks Instructional Leaders face in today's digital world is being able to connect with teachers and parents. The traditional methods of staff meetings and parental convocations are becoming irrelevant and leaders struggle with innovative and creative practices.

Participants in this course will learn tools for interactive presentations, digital portfolios, screen capture, and other resources to make their meeting time more beneficial. Instructional Leaders will also learn how to create space for professional learning opportunities where both the teachers and administrators will collaborate together.
