Lincoln Trail College served as the host of the Regional Office of Education’s Crawford County Teachers Institute on January 3. The event brought 260 Crawford County teachers and administrators to the College to help them kick-off 2024.
“Hosting our Crawford County K-12 teachers and administrators for a day of professional development at Lincoln Trail College was the perfect way to kick off the new year and spring semester,” said LTC President Tona Ambrose. “We were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and serve our local educators, which I think attests to LTC's desire and commitment to support our K-12 community. The ROE 12 and Crawford County School Leadership Teams did an exceptional job of organizing an engaging day of continuous learning, sharing best practices, and facilitating professional growth and it was a privilege to play a part in such a wonderful educational event.”
The CCTI opened with keynote speaker, Dr. Todd Whitaker. He is a professor of educational leadership at the University of Missouri and professor emeritus at Indiana State University. Whitaker is one of the nation’s leading authorities on staff motivation, teacher leadership, and principal effectiveness. He has written over 60 books, including the national best seller, What Great Teachers Do Differently.
From there, teachers had the choice of several different breakout sessions, including Dealing with Challenging Behaviors, Artificial Intelligence, Compassion Fatigue or Burnout: Are You at Risk?, Your First Years, SLANT Reading, PaCE Framework Overview, Elementary Technology/Coding, and Using Your Resources Wisely: How Do We Help Our Students? Additionally, the teachers and administrators got the opportunity to tour the Crawford County Recreation Center.
