ILLINOIS ONLINE ACADEMY | UPCOMING WORKSHOPS | ADMINISTRATOR ACADEMIES

As your partner in professional learning, the Kane County Regional Office of Education will keep you updated on the latest workshops, academies, and subscriptions available through our office.

Free time can be slim in this early portion of the school year. The Illinois Online Academy has a professional learning option that works with your schedule!

P.L.A.Y. (Professional Learning and You) is our newest catalog that lets you choose the content that matters to you. This platform offers microlearning, meaning every 15 minutes spent completing activities can be submitted for .25 PD hours. Some activities can be completed in as little as five minutes!

This quick video can walk you through the benefits of microlearning and how P.L.A.Y. can work within your available time.

Our Professional Learning team has grown, and so is our catalog of free classroom tips from Branching Out!

We are back for the new school year with easy-to-implement techniques and strategies to help you in a variety of areas. Katie Algrim, Director of Innovative Professional Learning, is joined by Jordan Eggleson, Professional Learning Coordinator, along with our new Instructional Coaches, Faye Licari and Elsa Glover, to bring you these complimentary strategies.

Slide-to-Self Showcase

This fun activity can empower students to share about themselves and get to know one another better while strengthening their digital literacy.

If you can hear me, BREATHE.

You may have tried asking your students to clap or respond with a phrase if they can hear you, but what about simply breathing?

Encouraging this breathing technique can help your students focus and listen for your next instructions.

New episodes are released every Thursday across our social media platforms and website. You can also browse our full catalog below. With over 100 episodes and counting, there's a video for every educator looking to branch out!

Evaluator Initial Training and Retraining at the Kane County ROE

Last week, we were fortunate to host Maureen McAbee to lead two days of Evaluator Initial Training and Retraining for Principals and Assistant Principals at the Kane County ROE. We are thankful to the administrators that took the time to be with us and are happy to have been a partner in helping them complete this qualification.

Social and Emotional services through SEL Hub

The Kane County ROE is proud to once again serve as a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Hub this school year. We are here to work with schools to support our students' and educators' social and emotional needs.

Whether its help with a needs assessment, action planning process, or workshops related to SEL content, support and resources are available at no cost to you!
