Trade Learning Saturday Is Now Open for Registration! 

Trade Learning Saturday is October 23 from 9 AM to Noon. Log into Webdesk and look for the Trade Learning Saturday icon. (Pictured below)

This icon should log you in automatically, but you can log in with your Plano ISD username and password if you have any technical difficulties. This year our Trade Learning Saturdays will be online, so everyone can learn at home! Sessions are open to everyone, including teachers, paraprofessionals, subs, administrators, etc. Sessions will qualify for trade hours and CPE credit. Subs and Paras can earn CPE credit, but do not need to earn trade hours.

We look forward to “seeing” you there. Please contact Marcus Miller in Professional Learning if you have any questions.

Do you ever experience a "Fear Of Missing Out" when it comes to digital integration? We got you!

The Spotlight Series of one-hour monthly sessions is designed as an informal opportunity for first- and second-year teachers (new to the profession or new to Plano) to become acquainted with the array of supports available in PISD. Each session will spotlight a different area of the district and will include some learning, an opportunity to meet district personnel who can support you in your role, and chances to connect with other new teachers. Attendance is not mandatory, but Trade Credit will be awarded. Join us for these fun, informative sessions designed with your needs in mind.
