More than 250 principals and teachers from across Hamilton County gathered Monday to learn innovative ways to engage students this upcoming school year.
With school starting next week, the educators dedicated one of their last summer days to learning from each other.
“We engage kids by engaging teachers,” said Keri Randolph, director of innovation for the Hamilton County Department of Education.
Randolph told educators the district’s leadership wants to foster a climate this year that encourages teacher voices and leadership in schools systemwide.
During Monday’s Innovate, Create and Engage Institute, educators bounced among seminars and presentations learning about the creative approaches taking place in classrooms across the district.
