SHARE GROUPS

Share groups are professional training series designed to meet the needs of instructors of specific curriculum areas--biology, chemistry, foreign languages, home and careers, and speech therapy.  The objectives of the share groups are to enable instructors to share activities and instructional strategies, expand and enrich classroom programs by developing new activities that are aligned with the NYS Learning Standards, increase linkages, increase collaborative opportunities, facilitate implementation of technology in the instructional program, and  address specific topics of the curriculum area.  Share groups meet once a month for six months throughout the school year, whereby participants earn in-service hours.  For more information on specific share groups for the Fall, please call the Teacher Center of Cheektowaga at 716-632-1042.
