Dates of Apprenticeship

My journey to become a certified SIM PDer began in March 2017 when I received professional learning in the Fundamentals of Paraphrasing and Summarizing and instructed a student at Mary Passage Middle School, in this Learning Strategy. I attended the Virginia Leadership Institute for SIM™ Professional Developers in Learning Strategies in Roanoke, VA, June 26 - 28, 2018. As a SIM PDer Intern I received two additional days of training with SIM PDers on November 6, 2018 and January 30, 2019 to discuss my progress in the badging requirements, determine next steps towards completion of the SIM PDer requirements, and get questions I had regarding the apprenticeship process answered. On January 30, 2019, my fellow Learning Strategies PDer Apprentice and I, with the support of our mentors, discussed answers we had generated based on your discussions at Institute and the required reading we had completed for 15 of the 30 Learning Strategies FAQs.

Dates of SIM Apprenticeship

I attended the SIM Virginia Leadership Institute in Roanoke, VA, from June 26 - 28, 2018. We had two more days during the year (November 6, 2018 and January 30, 2019)on which we met with our SIM PDers and checked in on progress, discussed upcoming steps, and further explored questions arising during our apprenticeships, either from our required readings and/or FAQs. By the time I attended Institute, I had completed 2 Learning Strategies, and since Institute, I have completed two more. At this point, I have completed all the requirements for SIM PDer.
