Dear Cadre 1 Peer Coaches: You've just ended your two years in the Peer Coaching program and you're asking yourself..."what's next?" I'd like to invite you to a special Thinkfinity workshop designed for you: Thinkfinity for Trainers But first... What is Thinkfinity? Thinkfinity is the cornerstone of Verizon Foundation's literacy, education and technology initiatives. Their goal is to improve student achievement in traditional classroom settings and beyond by providing high-quality content and extensive professional development training. Thinkfinity makes it easy for educators to enhance their classroom instruction with lesson plans, interactive activities and other online resources. Thinkfinity also provides a wealth of educational and literacy resources for students, parents, and after-school programs. Visit www.thinkfinity.org for further information. Training Description: This 2-day session will provide all of the information necessary for you to become proficient with the resources that Thinkfinity offers. It provides you with additional time for investigation of resources, collaboration with colleagues, and discussion and exploration of specific training strategies. You will also begin to develop their own Thinkfinity training plan. Upon completion, you will be ready to go back to your schools and train others on all that Thinkfinity has to offer.
