The University of Southern Indiana Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education is offering a free professional development opportunity for local teachers, administrators and students with an interest in teaching on Wednesday, February 28 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West. The event will include a meet and greet from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and a keynote presentation from 7-8:30 p.m. It is open to the public at no charge.
The keynote speaker, Hal Bowman, spent over two decades in the classroom before beginning his work helping tens of thousands of teachers and school leaders understand and shift classroom and campus culture. His work around school culture and its importance in creating the most effective environment for student success and teacher retention is unmatched.
His presentation, “Teach Like a Rockstar,†is a research-based, results-driven professional development event that provides educators with the most powerful tools, strategies and resources available for creating an extraordinary learning environment. Topics covered include building strong connections with students, creating student enthusiasm, transitioning from classroom management to classroom leadership, and ultimately, uncovering the rock star teacher that lies within and more.
