Joyful Tidings #35: Flex Week Is Here!

Jim and Debby Trying to Set Up the PDP Tent

Greetings MiraCostans!

Updated Calendar

​This is just a quick reminder that flex week begins tomorrow with ten flex workshops.

PDP has prepared a revised PDF calendar of our flex week events — please check it (see our Canvas home page) or myflex for any last minute changes (there have been several rooms adjustments and a few time / date shifts). It is always a good idea to double-check your workshop times one last time before heading out the door!

Friday’s Schedule: Canvas and Beyond

​While the majority of Friday’s workshops are canvas related, workshops on disability accommodations, learning communities, mental health in the classroom, and honors contracts all offer engaging opportunities to learn about other important issues and ideas.

​Thanks to all of our presenters!

Flex in Your Pajamas

​Of course, if you cannot make it to campus, you can always find great opportunities to flex from the convenience of your home on our PDP Canvas site. To fully explore all of the goodies, you will need to follow this link to sign up to join our Canvas PDP sit​e like you would a canvas course.

Remember too that our PDP program has a small but cool library of teaching and learning related texts. You are welcome to drop by our PDP tent during flex week and check out / borrow anything that intrigues you.

Happy Flexing!
