MSON Annual Workshop

Session 1:  June 22, 24, 26
Session 2:  June 29, July 1, July 2

 

For the last seven years, the Malone Schools Online Network has gathered independent school teachers from across the country to build online courses that honor their own craft as educators. These real-time classes value meaningful relationships, classroom community, and academic rigor.

Since the onset of COVID-19, MSON has helped schools across the globe transition to online learning, emphasizing the role of the real-time classes for connection and community. Now, many of our schools have an opportunity to engage in thoughtful planning for a school year that will likely involve online learning.

Seeing the demand, and our ability to leverage our talented community to share their practice, for the first time, the MSON Annual Workshop is open to all educators.

Join us for an intensive three-day professional development experience that will arm high-school and middle-school teachers in all disciplines with the tools to reflect on their experience teaching remotely this spring and plan to improve their online/hybrid teaching practices for the fall.

The Workshop will combine interactive large-group sessions and smaller group sessions organized by discipline, role, grade level, or specific topic of interest. Experienced MSON leadership and teachers will facilitate sessions.

The week will follow a schedule that blends asynchronous materials and synchronous class sessions. Participants will access a course page with resources compiled around key themes. On each instructional day, participants will gather at 9am PT/12pm ET for large-group sessions. Each afternoon, participants will gather at 1pm PT/4pm ET for smaller group sessions.
