Welcome to #PPSTC22!

Where will your learning lead you?

We are excited to offer a new learning experience for our teachers... TeachCamp Foundations!

TeachCamp Foundations is open to ALL PPS teachers at every level; however, the focus will be, well... foundational. We are using this experience to solidify the core principles of what it means to be an outstanding teacher for both our brand-new-to-teaching staff and our new-to-Portage staff. And, while we're at it, we are offering some great sessions for our teachers who have stuck with us through the roller coaster of the last few years and would like to dig deeper into targeted topics and hone their craft. For example, you may be solid in your classroom management techniques, but would like to dig into your craft or a specific curricular area. If that's you, come join us! Seating is limited…register today! You don’t want to miss out!
