ILLINOIS ONLINE ACADEMY | UPCOMING WORKSHOPS | ADMINISTRATOR ACADEMIES

As your partner in professional learning, the Kane County Regional Office of Education will keep you updated on the latest workshops, academies, and subscriptions available through our office.

Are you looking for an asynchronous, online course option? Look no further than Better Conversations!


Educators are expected to communicate authentically and effectively with students, colleagues, and administrators in various settings. Sometimes, however, we don't communicate in the most effective way for various reasons.


If you have a goal of communicating more clearly, Better Conversations offers strategies to improve those skills in your everyday life. Participants will also understand how beliefs and habits impact our actions and ability to have effective discussions.

Date & Time: Up to 60 days to complete

Price: $50 | PD Credit: 8

With October starting this week, we're turning our attention to another new theme from our professional learning subscription box: Inspire!


Each month, you can order activities that can immediately be used in your classroom and also completed for PD hours. Choose your own subscription type, send us your preferred location, and we'll do the rest! All you'll have to do is unbox and enjoy.


As we wrap up National Attendance Awareness Month, Kane County ROE staff are continuing to share resources and work towards empowering students to attend class each day. With that, our next Inspire theme is: Optimizing Attendance (Proactive Measures to Support Attendance Goals). Order at any time during October to receive this box in November!

Looking to start off the fall season with inspiration for new strategies to implement in your classroom? Check out the latest episodes of Branching Out for some complimentary tips!

The Fast & The Curious

Join Faye Licari as she walks you through a repeated strategy that doesn't eat up too much class time. This activity allows students to work on their fluency of recall in any subject and get immediate feedback so they can connect it to the content.

Thin Slides

This tip takes a slide deck concept and allows students to practice visual communication skills, engage in higher order thinking skills, and involves all students as they feel valued while they present their work.

New episodes of Branching Out are released every Thursday across our social media platforms and our website. You can also browse our full catalog below. With over 100 episodes and counting, there's a video for every educator looking to branch out!
