"Take a bite out of PD"
Check out a new episode of the Canyons U Bite-Sized PD series each week! Each Bite-Sized PD is approximately 30 minutes or less and covers a variety of topics designed to support teachers, coaches, and more as we continue to implement the CSD Instructional Priorities and the Best Practices for Digital Teaching and Learning. Episodes are not live with new episodes being posted each Wednesday by 4:00 PM, so you can watch them at your convenience.
Anyone who view a bite-sized PD episode has the opportunity to receive .5 relicensure credit. In order to receive credit, complete the 2024 – 2025 Relicensure Google form to indicate which of the PD sessions you have viewed. This form will be reviewed at the end of each month and relicensure credit will be awarded on Midas.
