EXCamp at GA: Sharing Expertise in Teaching

Monday, May 2, 2016 ~ Big Day at GA!

Germantown Academy faculty will attend the first all-school faculty EXCamp.  During two 35-minute sessions in the afternoon, a total of  twenty-five   teachers will present 35-minute sessions on topics of interest to them and their colleagues.  Topics include

·      Assessment-Based Curriculum Development,

·      Metacognition: How Thinking about Thinking Influences How We Teach and Learn,

·      Ways to use the VLE for more than just posting assignments,

·      Get Collaborating: Big Think Walls, Project Based Learning, and Student Centered Inquiry in the BCI

…and many more.

This event is a wonderful opportunity for peer-to-peer professional development.  The expertise of the GA faculty is a rich resource for all teachers, and on Monday, May 2, instead of going out, we are staying right here at GA and learning from one another.

Additionally, on the evening of Monday, May 2, Germantown Academy proudly welcomes award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson to our campus for a presentation for children and adults.  Ms. Woodson is the author of Brown Girl Dreaming and many other young adult books.  Please click here for more information.
