Optional Research Upskilling Opportunity
Did you know that NIS subscribes to a research database for teachers? It’s called EBSCO Host!
Today at 3:15 (September 2, Day 7) I’d like to show anyone interested in accessing education research – and avoiding annoying paywalls – how to use it. I can also show you my personal system for managing and organizing articles.
Great not only for teachers and TAs pursuing an M.Ed or doctorate, but also for anyone interested in enhancing their practice through research.
See you today after school in the PYP Design Pit. Bring your Macbook!

See you there!
