Core Instructional Practices | Free Professional Development for Teachers

Purposeful technology integration starts with sound instruction. The OK2Ask workshops in our Core Instructional Practices strand will show you how educational technology can turn everyday teaching moments into powerful learning experiences. In each session, we’ll explore a proven instructional approach you use every week—like formative assessment, structured discussion, and classroom routines—and show you how thoughtful edtech integration can boost clarity, engagement, and student outcomes. 

Join us on Wednesdays starting July 8 to refresh, refine, and deepen your practice—we look forward to learning and growing together!
