Take Courses on EduPaths this Summer
EduPaths continues to push out new courses every month.
The focus for this month is CyberSecurity and Classroom Libraries.
See the EduPaths Update for more details and to stay informed .

The iKeepSafe Data Privacy in Education courses introduce teachers and administrators to resources to keep students safe while they are online at school. A good source for information and practical implementation.

The Classroom Libraries courses are the final two courses in a series that focus on literacy and how teachers and administrators can support the development of classroom libraries in their schools.

As you take time to rest, relax, and enjoy your holiday, we know you are also considering the upcoming school year. EduPaths is a great way to participate in free courses for Michigan Educators which also offer free SCECHs!
