PAGE Leadership Institute for 2008 Georgia STAR Teacher

 

 

Purpose

The PAGE Leadership Institute for Georgia STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Recognition) Teachers is designed to promote, advance and build upon the skills of teacher leaders throughout Georgia.  This leadership institute is an investment in the 460 STAR Teacher recipients and will provide these teachers with opportunities to learn how they can lead and become influential advocates for educators in their respective schools.

 

Goals
The goals for the program are to:

  • Develop valid performance assessments that provide formative feedback for students to meet and exceed the Georgia Performance Standards. Participants will also explore techniques for helping students self-assess and improve their own work in order to achieve academic success in high school, college, and life.
  • Provide a practical and thought provoking look at what constitutes mastery and successful assessment in the differentiated classroom. Participants will focus on grading  issues encountered when differentiating  for students� diverse needs.


 Program Format

       The PAGE Leadership Institute for 2008 STAR Teachers provides one-day, high quality professional learning sessions focusing on significant and relevant topics that build upon leadership skills of the STAR Teachers in Georgia.  Each session is offered in regional locations on subsequent days and presented by the same national expert or consultant.  The institute is FREE for all Georgia STAR Teachers and includes breakfast, lunch and professional materials for use in the classroom.  Schools must provide release time for STAR Teacher of the Year to attend.

 

 

RSVP

STAR Teachers will receive notification of this valuable training and must RSVP to the PAGE office to be included in the scheduled training.  Because financial commitments must be made to presenters, to host institutions regarding space and food, and to order adequate materials, it is recommended that STAR Teachers RSVP as soon as possible to dray@pageinc.org.
