Cool Tools (5).png

Select Tuesdays 4:00 - 5:00 pm (Mountain time), online

On select Tuesdays, we will present a new Tool or Topic for your classroom use.

  • “Cool Tools” are techniques, teaching ideas, or programs to support K-12 teachers

  • “Hot Topics” are interesting and relevant topics or discussions for your classroom, often distilled from our day-long professor-led classes

You can attend any or all of these 1-hour virtual sessions, but please register in advance to help confirm your attendance and to keep the Zoom meeting room secure. Participants who attend 5 classes this semester will receive a $25 gift card. Those who attend 8 will receive a $50 gift card.

Tools and topics will be announced here and in teacher e-mails when they are confirmed, so keep checking back. And please invite fellow teachers to attend!

Note: If you indicate that you want reminders for all fall workshops, there is no need to register for individual workshops. You will receive Zoom links for each session - then YOU choose which ones to attend!
