Esri Imagery and Remote Sensing Educators Summit

Global learning calls for a new approach beyond traditional school-community partnerships. It requires that students not only learn about other countries and cultures, but also apply their learning to complex local and global issues. As districts, schools, and educators strive to connect learning in and out of school, innovative models are emerging that redesign partnerships, staffing, time, curriculum, and use of technology. Learn about the framework and get a series of tools for creating expanded learning programs that bolster students’ global competence and academic success through project-based learning, service learning projects, internships, and other learning experiences outside of school hours and walls.

So, they knew only a customizable student information system (SIS) could meet their non-traditional needs. After searching for a single SIS to unify their complex school system, Pacific Charter trusted the award-winning and innovative PowerSchool SIS as their district’s central engine.

Summer school gives teachers the unique opportunity to focus on “teacher self-care.” Trying out things in summer school we didn’t get a chance to teach during the regular school year is one way to invest in “teacher self-care.” When we better understand what works in our classroom, we can plan accordingly and make our year ahead the best it can be.
