Brokers of Expertise icon
Last fall, the California Department of Education launched the Brokers of Expertise project which is designed to provide California educators with access to FREE resources (such as lesson plans, video clips, assessments, and more) and a community of other educators with whom they can network and collaborate.
Brokers of Expertise is built on a set of underlying beliefs targeted at closing the achievement gap throughout the State of California. The goals for the BoE project are to provide educators with access to a library of high-quality digital resources (many matched to standards) and to help them make connections, extend PLC dialog, share their own resources, and share tips and best practices. Essentially, we're trying to strengthen the culture of sharing in education... across the entire state!
To sign up for free workshops in your areas please visit their website.
