September 15, 2021 Early Release Day
The Department of Professional Learning and Federal Programs, in partnership with Curriculum and Instruction, Academic Services and Equity Affairs is excited to offer OPTIONAL professional learning opportunities on our September 15, 2021, Early Release Day. This is a SCHOOL-BASED early release day (as are all ERDs this year). Therefore, all meetings and learning sessions at schools take precedence over the Optional ERD Professional Learning Offerings facilitated by the district.
ERD sessions will be from 60 -120 minutes in length, and can be formatted as either face-to-face, synchronous, or asynchronous (self-paced) to meet teacher needs. Any self-paced session must include some type of engagement strategy, an attendance link, an evaluation link and a certificate of completion.

August 17 and 18 Professional Learning Days and TPACK to School
The Department of Professional Learning and Federal Programs, in partnership with the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, is excited to offer TPACK to School! These sessions are designed to support teachers in understanding the intersection of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge as we plan for student success as a 1:1 district.
Tuesday, August 17, is an OPTIONAL Pre-Conference learning day for teachers in Specialty areas. Teachers in these non-core areas who are on a 10-month contract and whose official reporting day is August 18th will be paid a stipend in the amount of $75.00 for participating in the 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. or the 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. professional learning session. Those 10-month teachers attending both the 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and the 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. professional learning sessions will receive a stipend in the amount of $125.00.
Wednesday, August 18, is a District required work day. Teachers will attend virtual Convocation in the morning, then may choose up to three (3) TPACK sessions from 1:00-4:00 in the afternoon. Find sessions and register using the TPACK to School page on DPS Central.
