A New Digital First, Learning First Opportunity from NSTA
Trish Shelton
Trish Shelton joins us to highlight a new learning initiative from NSTA called the Professional Learning Unit (PLU). Designed as an asynchronous mini-course, a PLU is a bite-sized learning experience available on demand when a teacher, department or district needs it most. Listen to the show to hear more about this exciting new learning opportunity and find out how you can participate in a PLU to help grow your practice.
