For the past six years, Mentor has been actively involved in the Ohio Blended Collaborative (OBC) with 25 other districts across the state, concentrating on blended and personalized learning. Throughout this period, more than 125 teachers from our district have engaged in year-long professional development centered around the concepts illustrated in the graphic below.
In the upcoming year, the Ohio Blended Collaborative (OBC) is set to expand, incorporating a couple of neighboring districts (Perry and Riverside.) This expansion brings about changes in the collaborative's format and session focus, placing greater emphasis on teacher interest and providing opportunities for collaboration with educators from across the state.
In late March or early April, we will extend invitations to all teachers, including those who have previously participated, to enroll in this exciting opportunity. We hope you consider this great opportunity to find new ways to reach your students while having the opportunity to work with other teachers across our great state!
