Sparks were flying (sometimes literally!) as WCPS leaders walked the halls of Worcester Technical High School this morning. Programs from welding to cosmetology to engineering (and so many more) had students engaged and excited to apply newly learned skills. #WeAreWorcester

ICYMI: WCPS teachers and staff, including these pictured at Stephen Decatur Middle School received meaningful professional development this afternoon on the Science of Learning. They created 'model of the mind' maps and studied how our brains learn new information, encode it, and store it in our working or long-term memory. WCPS teachers and leaders are always looking for new ways to improve instructional practice. #WeAreWorcester #LearnTogetherLeadTogether

Educators across WCPS - including these pictured at Berlin Intermediate - are diving deep into the Science of Learning through powerful professional development! By exploring research-based strategies on how the brain learns best, our staff are sharpening their skills to maximize student success and create classrooms where every learner thrives.

We are proud to continue this important work thanks to the #SystemsofProfessionalLearningGrant—an investment in our teachers, our students, and the future of learning. #WeAreWorcester#ScienceOfLearning #LearnTogetherLeadTogether
