Welcome to the Durham Public Schools Professional Learning Schedule of Professional Learning! Here you will find a comprehensive list of PL sessions occurring throughout our district.
The DPS Beginning Teacher Mentor team is committed to equitably supporting and retaining all new educators.In response to our AL population’s needs, PrEPP: IN-SERVICE day 1 is a differentiated PL experience designed to elevate and address the specific challenges of AL1 teachers while honoring their assets. Participants will define what gives their work significance, identify a pedagogical need and work with their companion teacher, using models of best practices, to set goals for growth specific to the identified need. CTs will model how to accurately describe the culture of a class, connections they make between class culture, data and curriculum when designing instruction, and use a recording of themselves teaching as a model for how to make reflection and feedback actionable. ALTs and CTs will use a portion of the in-service day to plan for an onsite PL day in which the ALT will spend the day in the CTs classroom.This session is for both accepted ALTs and their chosen CT.
