Informal Needs Assessment  – Participants will identify the current professional development focus in their district, the district’s top three professional development goals, the areas in which the district could benefit from assistance, and the Foundational Services offerings that meet the district’s CIP needs.  ROE/ISC staff are available to set up an appointment for a 30 minute meeting (with district/school leaders/Professional Development decision makers) to determine how these Foundational Services can benefit your district at little to no cost to the district.

NETWORKING FOR IMPLEMENTATION

The purpose of Networking for Implementation sessions is to provide participants an opportunity for deeper discussion around shared experiences and expertise for the purpose of implementing approved content in the approved Foundational Services areas.  The Networking for Implementation opportunities are based on specific objectives as determined by identified needs for further implementation discussions and/or exploration of the resources along with sharing.

Networking for Implementation sessions may include one or all of the following objectives for participants within a focus topic:

  • Examine a focus topic in depth to support implementation
  • Share impacts, successes, and lessons learned related to the implementation of the focus topic by facilitator(s) and participants
  • Ask and collaboratively address questions and challenges related to the implementation of the focus topic
