Please email me if you are looking for a Keynote speaker; PD delivery on Inquiry-based learning; Instruction for higher-level thought; or teaching to Millennial-GenY-GenZ-NextGen students. paigejaeger@gmail.com
I am happy to connect via webinar or come visit in-person!
My goal is...Delivering understanding to your school faculty, area librarians, and-or conference attendees.
References and fees are available upon request.
My workshops are hands-on with learning activities.
Attendees exit with new ideas, new understandings, and glad to have attended. I specialize in engaged learning activities which model new techniques to use with your students.
2019 Kicked off with many PD days removing the intimidation of new standards. Reading as a Springboard to Inquiry as well as Meeting and Exceeding the New Standards.
As the school year kicks back into action, I'm booking a bundle of PD days, but only have a few remaining. In addition, I love visiting schools as a picture book author too!
2016 - 2018 were busy years with speaking engagements and PD delivery at conferences and schools across the country. Ohio, Michigan, Florida (FAME), Nebraska, Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri, Kansas, California and Connecticut are just a few of the states in which I keynoted conferences; delivered hands-on engaging Professional Development; or delivered pre-conference sessions on Inquiry-based learning. In addition, I spoke at two Scholastic Reading Summits and delivered numerous national webinars for organizations such as EdWeb; Rutgers University; InfOhio; and School Library Connection.
