RRISD Quick Reference Professional Learning Guide 2013-2014

This professional learning guide is a tool to be used to identify required and/or highly recommended courses for new and experienced RRISD teachers. Teachers should utilize this information prior to scheduling summer professional learning as well as professional development throughout the year. Foundational: Foundational courses are defined as those that all teachers who work with a specific grade level or content area should take in order to be able to fully execute required curriculum and the associated instructional strategies. Emerging: Emerging courses build upon the foundational learning of the Foundational level course offerings. Successful implementation of foundational curriculum and instructional strategies is a prerequisite for the emerging level courses. These courses are highly recommended for all RRISD employees. Advanced: At the advanced level, teachers are modeling best practice instruction utilizing their learning in the foundational and emerging level courses. Students are experiencing high rates of success and teachers operating at this level are either already working in leadership roles or wish to do so. Additional high level courses will be available in order for these teacher/master level teachers to grow their instructional skills set even further as well as their leadership skills and strategies.
