Connected Educator Month

By: Renee Boss

From teachers collaborating across state and district lines in face-to-face and virtual meetings to hundreds of teachers gathering at regional and state ECET2 events across Kentucky, The Fund for Transforming Education is known for our connectedness. October 2015 marks our third year participating in the national Connected Educator Month movement.



In 2013 and 2014 we spent the month of October highlighting different connected educators each day of the month, and we facilitated other learning events and connected with other organizations as well. We learned Kentucky really likes to connect and collaborate not just in October but all year long.

As we continue to iterate in our practice, this year’s connected educator month includes 
  • selected blog posts
  • an opportunity to connect with us in person at the Louisville screening of Most Likely to Succeed
  • an opportunity to share with us what you are learning and how you are connected. Tag us in tweets @thefundky 
  • a book twitter chat on October 27th with one of the authors from the book What Connected Educators Do Differently. Read about the book in this review by Renee Boss
  • social media posts from us about how to be involved with #CE15 nationally
Stay tuned & get connected!
