Lake Union Professional Development Day

Music and physical education teachers from across the Lake Union gathered Oct. 20 for a day of professional development and networking hosted by the Lake Union Conference Education Department.

The training brought together 12 teachers as part of the department’s annual Discover, Learn, Grow (DLG) initiative, which provides subject-specific professional development for junior and senior academy educators. Each year, the department rotates subject areas to give teachers opportunities to sharpen their skills and connect with colleagues who teach similar courses.

The day began at the Lake Union office with worship led by local musicians Kevin and Simon Brown, followed by a presentation on the brain and learning by Charity Garcia, Andrews University associate professor and director of curriculum and instruction.

Teachers then traveled to Andrews University for specialized training led by University faculty and staff.
