Master Teacher PDNow! Network for Online Professional Development
At the Georgia Department of Education - Migrant
Education Program, we are committed to providing migrant personnel with
all the professional tools they need to succeed in providing migrant children
and youth the best quality of supplemental services possible.
Various options are available to support districts
providing professional development to staff (certified and non-certified)
working in academic supplemental settings with migratory children and youth.
PDNow!
The PDNow! Network is an online
platform which provides a wide variety of online courses that give paraprofessionals the
specific training they need—with strategies they can apply immediately. Access is provided to MEP funded staff by the
Georgia Department of Education. New
migrant staff will take a series of 10 courses to build a framework of support
and instruction. Returning staff may
complete additional courses as determined by instructional strategy needs. See your Resource Specialist for additional
information and access.

Building a Culture of Writing
The GaDOE ELA team will launch a
seven-month literacy
series entitled Collaborative Conversations for Building a Culture of
Writing. This interactive online series is designed to build teachers’
capacity for writing instruction while cultivating a culture of writing.
Teachers in grades K – 5 and 6 – 12 will work through seven uniquely
designed sessions, where researchers and classroom teachers share
evidence-based writing practices and show what those practices look like in a
real classroom. By connecting theory to practice, this series will answer
questions about writing instruction, engage teachers in professional growth,
impact instructional practice, and ultimately, cultivate a culture of writing.
The series
begins September 2016 and is offered in three tiers for teachers, schools,
districts, and RESAs to customize the professional learning to meet their
unique needs. To start the registration process, complete the linked form. Once you submit the form, you
will be added to our mailing list and will receive periodic reminders about the
series.
