Professional Educator Series
The Professional Educator Series is hosted by the School of Education at George Fox with the intent of providing opportunities to engage with other educators regarding issues and trends currently shaping schools, classrooms and educators’ professional roles and responsibilities. The series is designed to bring together those in the educational profession and members of the broader community of educational stakeholders for dialogue and personal and professional growth, as well as provide the opportunity to engage with current technologies and strategies for teaching.
**Graduate credit is available for all workshops at the reduced tuition rate of $100 per credit hour. Enrollment for credit is separate from registration for the workshop and is to be paid on the first day of the workshop upon check in.**

Transforming High Schools
Ideas that Work in Oregon
Join the ongoing national conversation related to high school reform. Examine innovative and effective practices being implemented in Oregon high schools and across the country. Using guest speakers, participant interaction and readings, this workshop will help you walk away with new knowledge about how to move the conversation and application from “structure” to “instruction.” In addition, you will leave with potential steps you can take in order to implement effective change in your own educational setting. Bring a team from your high school and be able to say like one participant did in 2011: "Best continuing education course I've taken at any school." Up to 2 graduate credits are available for the week.
