TEC21 Workshops | 2023-2024

 
 

The TEC21 Workshop Program connects and equips Lutheran teachers to inspire student learning in Technology Enriched Classrooms (TEC)! Established in 2009 and headquartered on-campus at Concordia University, Nebraska, TEC21 supports Lutheran education throughout the LCMS. The TEC21 community has grown to include hundreds of teachers impacting tens of thousands of motivated students. During TEC21 workshops, Lutheran educators grow professionally in a fun, safe environment. They are challenged by TEC21 facilitators to examine, question, evaluate, and understand technology alongside a vibrant group of peers and develop practical applications for the classroom.

TEC21’s Elements of Effective Professional Development:

  • Is content focused

  • Incorporates active learning

  • Supports collaboration

  • Uses models of effective practice

  • Provides coaching and expert support

  • Offers feedback and reflection

  • Is of sustained duration

Enrollment for TEC21 beginning September 2023 is open! Connected educators today have literally a world of resources at their fingertips, and in the cohorts we are forming now for a start date of September 2023, there will be limitless opportunities to learn new instructional strategies, share best practices and collaborate. Principals should plan to register NOW for as many seats as desired (click here to register). Online registration ends on March 31, 2023; the workshop dates will be announced on June 1, 2023; and the cohorts will meet for the first time in September 2023.

There are cohorts for early childhood, elementary, middle-level, high school and higher education. What is the BEST REASON for principals to register teachers? This is the only opportunity to achieve mastery alongside teachers who share our Lutheran mission and values! The 2023-2024 TEC21 Workshop in the Minnesota South District will be in Burnsville at the Minnesota South District Office.
