Back in late August 2022 -- in what seems just an eyeblink ago -- I joined the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative (OVEC) as part of the grant-funded "Deeper Learning Team." It's been a journey full of opportunities for learning, partnerships on innovative projects, and celebrations of the innovative teaching in the Bluegrass. Alas, the grant ends on September 30, 2024, and with it, my Deeper Learning Design Specialist position.
But I am incredibly fortunate that our CEO Jason Adkins, along with OVEC's Board, saw the value of the work many of my grant-funded colleagues achieved, and found it in their budget to create several new positions. So I'm very pleased to share that on the first of October, I will become OVEC's Digital Learning Consultant!
I strongly believe in OVEC's mission of "empowering educators so students thrive," and have grown to know many amazing colleagues. To be able to work here is a joy and a privilege. Besides continuing to be a thought partner and facilitate professional development, I am also thankful to still share the stories of innovative educators of our area, through this blog and my social media.
I'll end the entry with a link to my newly launched OVEC Digital Learning Consultant website. (It's also reachable via its shortcut ovec.org/digitallearning.) If you're looking to schedule a conversation on how I can support you, or register for the latest PDs I'm leading, please give it a visit!
