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.
Interactive session, participants will explore how to effectively leverage mCLASS assessment data to create and manage small instructional groups. Educators will learn how to interpret mCLASS results to identify specific student needs, target skill gaps, and differentiate instruction for maximum impact. The session will cover best practices for grouping students based on their skill levels and reading profiles, including strategies for grouping by similar needs (e.g., phonemic awareness, decoding, comprehension) and using ongoing progress monitoring to adjust group membership and instruction dynamically. Participants will leave with practical strategies for using data to create fluid, responsive small groups that enhance student learning and growth in foundational literacy skills.
