45 minute session: Interactive ClassBank PD
The goal of this PD is to introduce teachers to ClassBank, share the real-world benefits of ClassBank for students, and experience ClassBank from the student perspective. Our priority at ClassBank is to prepare students for the real world and show them what it feels like to take ownership of their lives as early as elementary school. This guide will walk you through which ClassBank resources leverage research-based concepts that support the whole student, such as PBIS and SEL.
