Joplin School District starts peer learning summit for educators
JOPLIN, Mo. — The Joplin School District has launched its first ever peer-to-peer learning opportunity for educators.
The 'Joplin Connect Summit' highlights teachers already on staff – and how they can share their experience with others. Sessions Friday involved things like math – software – and the role technology plays in schools. Having the expert within the school district also means it's easier to follow up if there are questions down the road.
'They're within walking distance for everyone in the building. Or an email. Or a quick phone call. It's going to build that community you want in a high school, and that's the secondary part,' said JHS Principal Dr. Randy Oliver.
Middle and high school staff members were part of sessions at the high school – while pre and elementary teachers worked out of East Middle School and Soaring Heights Elementary.
