| The purpose of this session is to describe how PEP grants impacted the
practices of teachers in two urban school districts: Columbus Public Schools
and Cleveland Municipal Schools. The session will begin with a brief overview
of university/school district collaborative strategies used to facilitate
change and provide professional development. Elementary, middle and high
school teachers from these two districts will share personal stories of
how PEP professional development opportunities impacted their philosophies,
teaching practices, and programs. Conversations
will focus on the impact these changes have had on the teachers, and their
students, as well as “life after PEP.” |
