We are so excited for Dr. Susan Jinks! She is using her CHOICE funding to attend Google for Education Champions Symposiums all the way in Ireland! We still have room for a few more teachers to join CHOICE & access up $2000 this year to go to PL anywhere in the world! Where will you go?

Did you know that work-based learning opportunities help students connect what they learn in the classroom with what is expected in the workplace by integrating learning with real-world applications in partnership with industry professionals?

We know you want to deepen understanding of the CCRI & develop skills for networking with business partners and community leaders! Join us in Charlottesville on July 27! #wbl #collegeready #careerreadiness VASCD

Contextual learning! CHOICE connects teachers to PD that let's them learn new classroom practices in the contexts within which those practices will be used. #choice4teachers

In a recent survey, 59% of teachers found content-related PD opportunities useful, fewer than half found PD on non-content-related areas useful, and only 27% of teachers rated the training they received on student discipline and classroom management as useful. #choice4teachers

CHOICE teachers are encouraged to go where the knowledge and resources are, even if that is outside of Virginia or even outside the U.S. #choice4teachers

The Gates Foundation found that only 29% of teachers feel highly satisfied with the PD their school and/or division provide. They want more targeted options! #choice4teachers

Nearly 75 percent of teachers experience frequent job-related stress, compared to just a third of working adults.  #choice4teachers

'More than half of teachers have considered leaving the profession earlier than originally planned.' #choice4teachers

How do you determine what relevant PD looks like? Give teachers input and lean on their insight! #choice4teachers

CHOICE aids teachers in growing from their personal “Point A” to their personal “Point B” each and everyday! #choice4teachers

Many existing professional development efforts don’t include the relevant tools and materials needed to advance the skills and growth of every teacher - CHOICE seeks to connect teachers to PD and resources that do! #choice4teachers

Use your voice! #choice4teachers

CHOICE provides more than funding, it provides an opportunity for teachers to connect, build relationships, and learn from other Virginia teachers teaching the same courses and facing the same challenges. #choice4teachers

As their students' needs change so do teachers' professional needs. CHOICE helps them to pivot. #choice4teachers

CHOICE teachers use their funds to expand their knowledge and their skillset, selecting PD aligned to their personal experience and professional aspirations. #choice4teachers

Professional learning helps teachers grow, CHOICE and the funding it provides helps remove barriers to that growth! #choice4teachers
