MITTIN Virtual PLC
Our last PLC session for 2024 wrapped up on December 18th. Under the expert facilitation by Dr. Lois Vaughan-Hussain, there were 4 different cohorts, as a record numbers of attendees, and over 61 participants earned stipends for creating lesson plans, supplemental materials and piloting assessments to support MITTIN modules and topics.
Just this week on Wednesday, January 15th, was the first session of the 2025 MITTIN virtual PLCs. Dr. Vaughan-Hussain asked for anecdotal examples of using MITTIN modules and video modeling with learners. Conni Sharp, Special Education Teacher at Highland Pines School with the Tuscola Intermediate School District, shared how her students explored the 'Using the Oven' module. She continued that when moving from the computer game to the classroom kitchen, students refer back to the MITTIN module when considering the steps in the process. Conni shared she was surprised and encouraged how students would state, 'In the game, we needed to preheat the oven before we set the timer and put the pizza in the oven." It was great to hear real examples of transition skills being transferred and generalized into new settings. Thanks for sharing Conni. Great work!
