LiDA Programs At Warner

As K-12 schools, colleges and other educational institutions continue to engage in technology-rich innovations, they will require teachers, specialized staff, and instructional leaders to ensure quality delivery of online and digitally-rich instruction. The Warner School can provide credentials to position you as an expert and leader in this digital transformation movement – with scholarships that can significantly reduce the cost of your program.

LiDA K-12 Webinars

Recognizing that attendance at face-to-face events may be challenging for K-12 educators, the LiDA Center is developing a series of FREE educational webinars, powered by Zoom, focused on specific problems of practices related to “digitally-rich” instructional innovations in K-12 schools. Each webinar features a panel of K-12 educators from across the region sharing lessons learned on a chosen problem of practice, and responding to questions from webinar participants.

Professional Development For K-12 Schools (Under Development)

Most Professional Development opportunities for K-12 teachers and staff are organized by specific school districts, and, as such, attendance is restricted to educators working only in those districts. Here you’ll find information about PD opportunities on topics specifically related to digitally-rich teaching and digital conversion in K-12 education that are open to any and all educators.
