The introduction to deliberation webinar is now available as part of the Pennsylvania School Heath Spotlights series.  It is titled Healthy Classroom Talk and it is designed to introduce teachers to promising practices that reinforce healthy and safe school climates.  Pennsylvania teachers who watch the webinar can earn credit toward their continued certification.  While it is about classroom deliberation, in general, it references the National Issues Forums (NIF) and the NIF process.  It is also well grounded in what we have learned through the k-12 teachers’ research.

Here is the link that teachers can use to register.  If someone is not a teacher or does not need Pennsylvania educator credit, they can just write 11111 when prompted for their ID number.  In this way, anyone can enjoy the session. 

Donnan Stoicovy and Lori McGarry presented the webinar and I think it’s a nice example of credit bearing professional learning for teachers.
