Connected Educator Month is upon us, and we have big plans with our partners again this year. We think it’s important to consider how far we have come since last October and recognize that connectedness extends beyond one month of the year. Connectedness also extends beyond our classrooms, schools, and districts. We have more Kentucky teachers and administrators connecting with one another online, engaging in conversations, supporting and learning from one another.
Kentucky is known nationally for our ability to bring in multiple stakeholders and also for our longstanding practice of having numerous partners collaborating. Connected Educator Month provides us a chance to highlight the collaboration. At the end of last year’s Connected Educator Month, The Fund, KDE, and Hope Street Group collaboratively blogged about the experience and how we met our objectives. Some of our reflection was focused on the tools and platforms we used to connect, but more importantly, we focused on the impact these connections have on students.
For 2014, we will continue the emphasis of connecting to improve student learning, and we will also emphasize the importance of considering how community leaders, business leaders, and education leaders work together to impact students.
Each day in October, we will highlight one connected educator, and we will also provide a few suggestions each day for how you can participate in connected educator month. Stay tuned and get connected!
