On Memorial Day, we honor our fallen heroes 🇺🇸 HERO Leaders, let’s engage students with lessons on courage and sacrifice, linking history to values. #HistoryHero

How enlightening and refreshing this cadre was! I'm so thankful that HERO allows me to watch the ones I've missed previously. KEDC Grants Dr. Melanie Goan did a great job shedding light on the women's viewpoint of history.

I've heard about scratch before but haven't explored it myself. It is such a fun way for students to be engaged and think creatively. I'm excited to see how I can implement this in my classroom! HERO KEDC Grants

Just because the school year is over doesn’t mean our professional learning is! Let’s watch some recordings 🙂 HERO KEDC Grants

Just completed a training from iCivics and HERO KEDC Grants! I feel more confident in my ability to coach other social studies teachers and improve my own practice!

One thing I LOVE about KEDC Grants is that when I miss a session I can go back and watch the recording later. Thanks Kelly Fischer for teaching us how to use Autocrat with Google Sheets! HERO
