Farheen Beg, Director of Technology at Butler SD 53 shares her district’s new professional development plan. “Whatever kind of teacher you are, you realize that you have to change and that there needs to be continuous learning,” said Beg. “We've had all of these tools and now we're maximizing the use of them because we don't have a choice, because without those tools we can't survive. I'm really proud of our teachers that the focus is still on how to improve teaching and learning. We haven't lost that focus, but now we are doing it digitally.”
